Usually something turns up on there but not today. Is there anything else we can help with? Regards, Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johntanner Posted 4 November Author Share Posted 4 November Thanks for trying, the only consolation is that I haven’t missed something obvious. Spent most of the afternoon down this rabbit hole. Anyone else come across a casualty with no Effects Register entry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald D Posted 5 November Share Posted 5 November Something I can't understand is the date on the medal roll is to 24/9/17, yet he died on the 29th April at Arras. He was in D company. My Grandfather joined the Battalion at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johntanner Posted 5 November Author Share Posted 5 November The only explanation I could come up with was a transcription error 24/9 for 29/4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
