Hello
I am seeking any information relating to the career of Lt Col Charles Christopher Heywood who served for a number of years with the 2 Vol Bn, then with the 6 Bn Manchester Regiment prior to the War, and as Temp Lt Col with the 2/9 Bn Manchester Regiment in the Great War before transferring to the Royal Army Medical Corps. I would be most grateful for any information, particularly his service with the Manchester Regiment. Thanks.
Regards
Ron
