Geordie #1 Posted 11 September , 2017 Hello, I am trying to find out where the 3rd Batt,CSG were in October 1914. I am related to Pte. Fred Jamieson, 3rd Batt. who died in Wimereaux on October 31st 1914. On his medal card it says he was attached to a Light Railway Company? It's all a bit confusing so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coldstreamer #3 Posted 17 September , 2017 I have a roll for the 3rd Btn that lists which company they served in - will get back to you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coldstreamer #4 Posted 17 September , 2017 Cant see him on there As he died his papers wont be at the national archives or FMP etc - for some reason guards are not there Ill dig a bit more The btn was not at Wimereaux then so without checking where it could be died of wounds in hospital or was indeed attached elsewhere Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
