Irish Guards Officer search 1914-1918

[51st Sikhs]

I am away from home abroad at the moment and I do not have Kipling's list of the officers' of both the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Regiment so I am trying to find out about an officer whose initials were ANB. 

 

Can anyone help please?

 

Thank you kindly.

Hi 

 

I've already checked there and unfortunately there is no officer of those initials listed there. However I know he came in 1915 or right after that. Thanks for the suggestion. 

 

Any Irish Guards specialists out there?

The nearest I can see is Lt Arthur Norman Odling 4th (Royal Irish) Dragoon Guards

From the index to Kipling's book, If the initials are slightly out could it be 2nd Lt  A H Blom, who disembarked in France 4.1.1915.

 

The PRO at Kew has a file for Captain Alfred Hogarth BLOM, Irish Guards.

 

His fathers naturalization certificate is on ancestry & shows Alfred was born 1890/91. Father was Carl Alfred Knut BLOM, a coal exporter born Sweden but living at Gosforth, Northumberland in 1901. In 1911 Alfred was a Law Student. Died 1935 Kensington, London.

Thank you for that. I managed to look at every IG Officer between 1914-1918 and he’s the only closest initial I could find which I am getting to see it may be Blom after all. 
Many thanks.
