20654 Pte Thomas Mercer 8th East Lancashire Regiment

[ATNOMIS]

Pals

Ive just obtained 20654 Pte Thomas Mercer 8th East Lancashire Regiment British War Medal.

From his number I believe to be part of drafts to the 8th East Lancashire Regiment  in France, maybe via  Via Etaples? During  1916

 

I have his Mic, I find this confusing. As it says entitled to 1914-15 Star Theatre 3/9/1915 Supp H/1/5 1 B page 94. I can not find his Star Roll or his SWB H/782/1

Any details on this man please.

Thanks in Advance

Thank you all

So from the Book cover . He was in the 9th East Lancashire's. Then transfered to the 8th. Number has blown me away with the information I have on the 8th men.

 

Thanks again
