Ray Sharpe Posted 24 March , 2022 Author Share Posted 24 March , 2022 I do not have anything on the person at all - apart from being mentioned on War Diary or Intelligence Summary on 28 Jul 1917 when he was injured and possibly brought back by L/Cpl Daniel Elliott who received the Military Medal for his actions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point Charlie. Make that two more threads. Ray - Without wanting to seem unhelpful, acknowledgements and thanks are certainly a good way to get further free info out of GWF and are much appreciated.

Not sure that is a good approach to getting free info [much of which comes from paid for sources]. You don't have to acknowledge/thank every post but occasionly it does help - and is good etiquette/good manners, which I hope you have.

Ray Sharpe Posted 24 March , 2022 Author Share Posted 24 March , 2022 (edited) Thank you - this is getting more interesting from the information that I have now, hope to be able to fill in some details that I am missing with help! So it seems (from the link above) that he was T/Lt, which is I presume Temp. Lt - again I presume there were no other officers available to fulfil the duties?

Ray Sharpe Posted 25 March , 2022 Author Share Posted 25 March , 2022 Thanks for that information - was wondering how he became a 2/Lt, but as described during war situations more commissions (in theatre) were given to people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
