266406 C Turner, Duke of Wellington's (West Riding) Regt

[helpjpl]

 

According to his service record, 266406 Cuthbert (Henry John Rigaud) Turner suffered a GSW to his ankle resulting in his right foot being amputated.

The date is very faint but appears to be 25 August 1918 (all 3 links courtesy of ancestry):

 

 

 

I don't expect Cuthbert to be named as a casualty in the WD but I should like to know where he was. Trouble is I don't know which WD I should be looking at:

 

Can a kind soul point me in the right direction or provide a link to the relevant WD on ancestry?

 

Many thanks

JP

Hi JP,

 

The LLT says that the 2/5 Bn was absorbed by the 1/5 Bn in January 1918 (which was then renamed to the plain 5th), so I think that the diary you need is this one - Ancestry link

I think you're right. Thank you very much.
