Chris_Baker Posted 8 June , 2003 Share Posted 8 June , 2003 Does any member possess a copy of the National Roll of the Great War, Section VI, for Birmingham? There is a soldier I would like to look up. His name was Lawrence Roland Hughes. He was in the RAOC. He was from Small Heath. That's all I know.

Terry_Reeves Posted 8 June , 2003 Share Posted 8 June , 2003 Chris No LR Hughes in the Birmingham volume I'm afraid. Terry Reeves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Baker Posted 8 June , 2003 Author Share Posted 8 June , 2003 Thanks Terry. Second question then. Does anyone know if and when a large draft of men moved from the AOC into the 2nd Sherwood Foresters? I believe Lawrence was in such a draft. He was given a new number: 103943.

Cliff. Hobson Posted 8 June , 2003 Share Posted 8 June , 2003 Chris, I have a copy of the 2nd Bn Sherwood Foresters War History ( by Col. H.C.Wylie) not yet read but in September 1916 they received a Draft of 12 Officers and 529 other ranks. Cliff. Hobson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry_Reeves Posted 8 June , 2003 Share Posted 8 June , 2003 The only sure way to do this is to go to the unit medal rolls. If he qualified for medals then a large draft of men will appear in the same roll which will show their former units as well. Terry Reeves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
