Herefordshire Regiment. Maybe... Thank you all for your help Dai I dont think its the monmouths as they are mentioned a lot and you can read the way the chap writes looks like maybe a B or S ? I have looked at the make up of the 160th but cannot find anything like it other than as you say monmouths BTW whats a buzzer its some thing to do with signals?

Marilyne Posted 30 April , 2020 Share Posted 30 April , 2020 Biffo, I think I read somewhere that the "buzzer" was another word for the wireless... let me ask some CIS guys... I also agree on the Monmouth on14. First reaction was "bushmen"... or something starting with "Bust..." any cities or regions in England with that name?? M.

Buffnut453 Posted 30 April , 2020 Share Posted 30 April , 2020 I think the last missing word is "line" which would make it "3 Battns viz 1st and 3rd [something] line Regiment". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffnut453 Posted 30 April , 2020 Share Posted 30 April , 2020 Actually it probably isn't "line" Looking at Herefordshire, the "shire" is virtually identical to the last part of the row in question. I'm leaning towards Dai Bach y Sowldiwr's interpretation...with a slight difference "viz. 1st and 3rd Bns. Monmouthshire Regiment." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, makes sense: http://www.longlongtrail.co.uk/army/order-of-battle-of-divisions/53rd-welsh-division/ under: 160th (Welsh Border) Brigade listings.
