Admin DavidOwen Posted 14 March Admin Share Posted 14 March My search of Ancestry for Alfred Frost 41748 isn't showing anything on Fold3? 2/12/1918 is post Armistice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topdeer Posted 14 March Author Share Posted 14 March No I couldn't find him on the silver war badge list but sometimes it's the way the name is put like A Frost or Alfred Frost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewSid Posted 14 March Share Posted 14 March (edited) He is listed on the 02 Dec casualty list published on 10 Dec 1918. As such likely wounded about 4 weeks before that date ie last few days of the war. Reporting lags vary though so its not exact. Searches on the other men listed for surviving service records and when cross referenced with the roll to ensure they are the same Battalion would give you the likely date of engagement.
