Skipman Posted 23 December , 2022 Author Share Posted 23 December , 2022 This is part of the same record. It's very difficult to read but would I be correct in thinking that it says this soldier was transferred to the 17th Royals Scots on the 4th of April allotted new Regt No. 59156. What might the stamped date "8th" refer to? A large reinforcement joined the 17th Battalion at Hedauville between the 12th and 14th April 1918. https://search.findmypast.co.uk/record?id=gbm%2fwo363-4%2f007395613%2f00244&parentid=gbm%2fwo363-4%2f7395613%2f6%2f240 Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tullybrone Posted 23 December , 2022 Share Posted 23 December , 2022 Looks like Joined Bath? (Battalion) 8th April 1918. Could mean left BD to join Battalion? It would take a couple of days to reach them in the Field? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally there is a handwritten'in the field' after this but I can't see that. But as Tullybrobe said, that's what happen a few days after posting.
