alathea Posted 8 April , 2007 Share Posted 8 April , 2007 Hi Glyn If you are still doing look ups please can I ask you to look up Alexander RATHMELL, service No 4844. He served in the army for 7 years, first in the 15th and then in the 8th Hussars and left in around 1911. He went into the reserves and re-joined as soon as war broke out. He was attached to the 1st Life Guards, went to the front in August 1914 and was killed on 1 Nov 1914. I've checked the burnt records at Kew and found no service records, all I have is a copy of his WW1 medal card. I was wondering if he'd been awarded any medals when he first left the army. Many thanks for reading this message. regards Alathea <Snip> The following Dairies available for lookups or will e-mail relevant pages to anyone who wants them - these are the ones available online at the NA at 3.50 a go. Cost to forum members - NOWT. Long Service and Good Conduct Medal register. Regiments: 1st-2nd Life Guards, Royal Horse Guards, 1st-7th Dragoon Guards, 1st-2nd Dragoons, 3rd-4th Hussars, 5th Lancers, 6th Dragoons, 7th-8th Hussa...

shaymen Posted 8 April , 2007 Author Share Posted 8 April , 2007 Hi Glyn If you are still doing look ups please can I ask you to look up Alexander RATHMELL, service No 4844. Alathea No mention I'm afraid. Not sure if your aware that this is not the 1st LG war diary I have only Long service/good conduct list. I belive the 1st Life Guard diary is only available at Kew not online. Glyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that there are comparitively few RGA diaries surviving at all at Kew John [/quote Thanks John for looking regards sheila [/quote Try WO 95/543 4 Siege Battery Royal Garrison Artillery - is this what you are after. There are hordes of RGA diaries at Kew - but they do not pop up with some of the more obvious search words but put in Royal Garrison Artillery then you get many, type in 4 and you get the siege battery - but typing in siege did not produce any.......... For 135 references you will have to work out which Heavy Artillery Reserve or Brigade they were with and then search within those - there is separate correspondence on this, which I can't instantly recall hope this helps Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonmaid Posted 5 February , 2008 Share Posted 5 February , 2008 Glyn Is it possible you may have something on 7th Battalion East Lancashire Regiment? I am looking for info on my Grandfather Pte Herbert Martin 13785 earned himself a DCM in July 1916, he was wounded but not fatally and was sent home to England. He joined the MFP June/July 1917. Thank you Ellie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaymen Posted 5 February , 2008 Author Share Posted 5 February , 2008 Ellie Sorry nothing for the 7th East Lancs. Might be worth putting a thread in Units and Formations and ask the question. Good luck Glyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil996 Posted 6 February , 2008 Share Posted 6 February , 2008 Hi Shaymen Do you happen to have the war diary for the 7th Battalion East Surreys for May to December 1917? They were at the battle of Cambrai - my grandfather joined the Bn in June 1917 and was captured in Nov/Dec. Many thanks Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
