TrevorHH Posted 24 May , 2018 Share Posted 24 May , 2018 I would to get an opinion on a man I am looking into. Only his MIC and medal roll entries have survived. His name was Charles Dunsdon and according to his medal roll entry he starts off in the 4th Bn Coldstream Guards with the number 14404. Transfers to the Black Watch with the number 313057 and then to the Royal Engineers with the number WR/126194 (ie Waterways and Railways) and finally back to the 1/7th Black Watch with the same no he had previously 313057. Is there a link between the Black Watch and the RE here or am I barking up the wrong tree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldstreamer Posted 27 May , 2018 Share Posted 27 May , 2018 There is no link I know of. Most likely the man was moved to fit whether resource was required. I ll look him up later when with my laptop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tullybrone Posted 27 May , 2018 Share Posted 27 May , 2018 Hi, His transfer to Black Watch would be at his own request as Brigade of Guards soldiers could not be compulsorily transferred to “line Regiments” Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
