brianmorris547 Posted 28 February , 2022 Share Posted 28 February , 2022 Charlie I am going through the Times OCL looking for Bolton Artillery casualties in Gallipoli and noticed this on 23/12/1915. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie962 Posted 28 February , 2022 Author Share Posted 28 February , 2022 Brian. Thank you for that. I haven't too much problem with the Times or Official Casualty Lists for killed, wounded, missing (there are gaps of course)which in the early days to mid 1916 at least are clearly identified as Persian Gulf. The big void is those sick and wounded lists, which presumably went to India or originated in India. Telegrams were sent to England from Basra and India so copies should turn up occasionally in UK files but so far I have only seen two PG type documents. There is presumably a predecessor to PG and other variations. I have not fully studied David's spreadsheet. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie962 Posted 6 March , 2022 Author Share Posted 6 March , 2022 (edited) "1063357804_PG4622part.JPG.b974fbbee1df7dd5f32503ae33cd6876.JPG (1562×1600)" Copied from dink's caslistthread Would PG4622 be c Jan 1917? These are Indian soldiers taken prisoner of war by the Turkish at the fall of the garrison at Kut al Amara 29/4/16 and held at a railway work camp at Ras el Ain. Interesting to see that PG lists could be used for reporting these PoWs. Findmypast has indexed their names. Edit- apparently from the file of McElin 49761 but although there are are other half-sheets I couldn't see this one. Charlie Edit. That list would probably have been compiled from an ICRC notification and would be for circulation in India rather than telegraphing to England. but McElin only served UK so why did this get into his file, even as a scrap?

charlie962 Posted 1 April , 2022 Author Share Posted 1 April , 2022 (edited) Just noting some HD lists for Mespot. Form W3034 in the file of Farnworth, MGC, gives the following list. Farnworth also appears on a partial list on Brian Morris's so named thread.
