Sparky53 Posted 27 June , 2005 Share Posted 27 June , 2005 I have been tracking Gt Uncle Jim and have discovered from the Medal Rolls that he was with 4 N Staffs. WAR DIARY:- 4 North Staffs mobilized 6 October 1917. Part of 35 Division, 106th Infantry Brigade attached to 105 Brigade. 25/3/18 MARICOURT 1 Offr 8 OR Killed; 2 Offr 34 OR Wounded, 25 OR Missing 26/3/18 BIJIRE DERNACOURT Attacked high ground east of MORLANCOURT Battalion crossed river at ANCRE DERNACOURT Casualties 1 Offr 6 OR killed ; 1 Offr 22 OR Wounded; 12 OR Missing Jim was wounded and taken prisoner but I have no idea when or where he was taken. I am guessing that he was taken prisoner during the German push in March 1918 as the War diary suggests many 4 N Satffs went missing at that time. Does anyone know of any others taken prisoner at about that time and place? Cheers Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
