Stebie9173 Posted 25 April , 2005 Share Posted 25 April , 2005 Just to clarify, Aaron. The above award was gazetted 15-3-1918. Gunner Wright was in Battery "B" of the 330th Brigade RFA. His award probably dates from December 1917 but may be a couple of months either side (just to narrow your search) Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandcroft Posted 27 May , 2005 Share Posted 27 May , 2005 Dear Aaron, Could you look for a mention of Corporal W.G. Coe, who was Mentioned in Despatches whilst attached to C/330th. He may have joined the Brigade around November 1917, as his regular Brigade moved to Italy at this time. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Nelson Posted 27 May , 2005 Author Share Posted 27 May , 2005 Hi Sandcroft, There is this entry for 3rd November 1917. 3rd A fine day LIEUT. W.D. HEALY to 4th Army Arty School, VAUK EN AMIENOIS. LIEUT R. Mc ARTHUR returned from hospital at ROUEN. - CAPT. T.A HOWSON embarked at BOULOGNE proceeding on leave. The Baths at OUTTERSTEENE were again made use of. A draft of 4 Sgts , 2 Cpls , 2 Bdrs Dvi was posted to Bde. Your man may have been one of the two Cpls mentioned here. This may clarify the actual date he joined 330. Im still looking, so will post more if I find any anything else. Any idea when he was mentioned in despatches, I could look that date up as well for you. cheers Aaron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Nelson Posted 27 May , 2005 Author Share Posted 27 May , 2005 Sandcroft No mention of Coe, sorry about that. However C/330 is mentioned many times from November 1917 onwards, happy to post these entries here if you wish, might be an idea to give me more specific dates and happy to provide. The diary runs right through to May of 1919. Cheers Aaron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandcroft Posted 27 May , 2005 Share Posted 27 May , 2005 Dear Aaron, Thank you for your reply. The draft of men to the Brigade in November 1917 is interesting, it may well be the time he joined the 330th. The only reference I have for the Mentioned in Despatches, is when it appeared in London Gazette of July 1919. Thanks again for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
