Admin RussT Posted 30 April Admin Share Posted 30 April It could be 320267 as per the actual MIC. TNA have interpreted as 320264. Medal Roll shows 320267, so that is the correct number. He was in the 24th Bn Welsh Rgt Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin kenf48 Posted 1 May Admin Share Posted 1 May 18 hours ago, John Morgan said: Can you provide complete number and any further details of service. Suggest you have a look at the Long Long Trail website on how to research a soldier In particular this page on the 74th Yeomanry and their famous or infamous 'Broken Spur' Divisional Patch reflecting the feelings of all soldiers of every rank in the Yeomanry becoming infantry https://www.longlongtrail.co.uk/army/order-of-battle-of-divisions/74th-yeomanry-division/ His Yeomanry number indicates he was a wartime enlistment on or around the first two weeks of October 1914 when he enlisted in the 2/1st Pembroke Yeomanry https://www.longlongtrail.co.uk/army/regiments-and-corps/the-british-yeomanry-regiments-of-1914-1918/pembroke-yeomanry-castlemartin/ In all probability he went with the 1/1st to Egypt as shown above. It appears the formal transfer date was 16th December 1916 when the men were renumbered in the 320*** series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin kenf48 Posted 1 May Admin Share Posted 1 May The Medal Roll on Ancestry shows he was an Acting Sergeant, unfortunately Acting ranks were not shown the medals, hence the medals are inscribed Cpl which was his substantive rank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
