Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 17 October , 2018 Share Posted 17 October , 2018 The three numbers are his service numbers in 3 different regiments: 1751 - Essex Yeomanry 151441 - Machine Gun Corps 20508 - 2 County of London Yeomanry The card suggests him to have entered his first theatre of war (1 = France & Flanders) on 5/6/15 with Essex Yeomanry. Then in 2 County of London Yeomanry , then finally Machine Gun Corps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clk Posted 17 October , 2018 Share Posted 17 October , 2018 (edited) Hi, Unfortunately, I didn't see a surviving service file for Frederick. There are a few though for men in the MGC that had near numbers to his 151441. 151304 Cook 151306 Cusack 151339 Daly 151369 Elms 151427 Hitchcoe 151441 151503 Kennedy 151504 Keenes 151529 Low 151531 Mead 151542 Mathies 151557 Martin 151569 Mann They all appear to be compulsory transfers to the MGC wef 13.6.1918, and where noted largely served with the 104 Bn MGC (war diary link) and mostly having previously been with the County of London Yeomanry. Regards Chris Edit: Looking at his Essex Yeomanry number... 1705 Barrow - joined 14.12.1914 1724 Brown - joined 21.12.1914 1742 Riches - joined 31.12.1914 1743 Harrison - joined 31.12.1914 1748 Webster - joined 1.1.1915 1751 1753 Cowell - joined 4.1.1915 1754 Carter - joined 4.1.1915 1759 Flood - joined 4.1.1915 Edited 18 October , 2018 by clk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
