Marigold1 Posted 14 September , 2021 Share Posted 14 September , 2021 I am researching William Alfred Yeomans, He enlisted in 1914 and within one year became Acting Serjeant Ch192(S). He embarked on Victory (RM Brigade) on 19th November 1914. He was discharged on 1st January 1916 after being wounded on16th September 1915. Would Victory have been at Chatham or Portsmouth? Is there any way of finding out which unit he was with and where he was wounded? So far I have only found one record for him (attached). Many thanks, Marigold ADM-159-143-192.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
