b2187101 Posted 18 August , 2020 Share Posted 18 August , 2020 I have a photo of a group of British RAMC men standing around a Triumph motorcycle. On the back, in pencil, it reads (as best as I can) "Pvt. W. Darlington, Reg. No. 1962, C Section, 1/2nd Welsh R.A.M.C, Mediteranean Force". Searching Ancestry.com, I have easily found a W. Darlington, Reg. No. 1962 , (Image Below). But, it doesn't name his first name, nor can I find any information about him? Did Regimental Number change when he might have changed Regiments? There are so many W. Darlingtons that I don't know where to go from here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie962 Posted 18 August , 2020 Share Posted 18 August , 2020 (edited) also 366164. Forename William. Surviving Service Record on FindmyPast so should be on Ancestry. cahrlie Edited 18 August , 2020 by charlie962 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b2187101 Posted 18 August , 2020 Author Share Posted 18 August , 2020 charlie962, thank you for finding this. What Decoration is William Darlington being awarded in the form above? I will look him up immediately! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie962 Posted 18 August , 2020 Share Posted 18 August , 2020 Just now, b2187101 said: awarded in the form above? That is the 1914/15 Star Roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie962 Posted 18 August , 2020 Share Posted 18 August , 2020 There's a hospial sheet also on FindmyPast showing he was admitted Edinburgh War Hospital Bangour with Dysentery 9/1/16. From his very brief service record I would assume he was repatriated because of this from the Mediterranian Expeditionary Force in December 1915. If you use the 366164 number ( Territorial renumbering of 1917) you will pick up links to Silver War Badge and Pension Card on Ancestry.
