Hi Pals,  I am currently researching 63809 Pte John Richard Heyworth 13th Yorkshire Regiment who was killed in action on the 4th April 1919 in Russia.On the 19th March 1919  50 men of 13th Yorkshires dubbed "Special Company" were detached to join their sister battalion 6th Yorkshires  at  Bolshie Ozerki, Would Pte Heyworth be one of the special company  and did the special company possess specialist skills ? Thanks,regards Paul
