Joseph Henry Carr

Recommended Posts

Trying to locate as much information as possible about my great uncle Joseph Henry Carr who was born in Hanley, Staffordshire. Born 1892 (possibly 21st May).

 

I am aware that he served in the North Staffordshire Regiment during the war. 

 

If anyone can help with more details regarding his service, photographs, or newspaper information. I would be very grateful.

 

Many thanks,

 

Tony

Pte 12100 Joseph H Carr of North Staffordshire Regt. first entered France on 28th July 1915 and was discharged to Class Z on 21st February 1921 - but I guess you knew that.

Anything on the medal rolls re battalion?
