Terry Carter Posted 5 January , 2005 Share Posted 5 January , 2005 Alec There are quite a few men with the surname Shilvock in the medal index cards. F Shilvock is listed. You will find out what medals he was entitled to, but not much else. To be honest I doubt if you will find much info. Regards Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
margaret sheridan Posted 5 January , 2005 Share Posted 5 January , 2005 hello Margaret Not much else I can tell you regarding J P Wainwright other than he is commemorated on the Tyne Cot memorial, which you probably know. I have not got any list with a H G Sheridan on it. There 638 medal index cards to men with the surname Sheridan but none have the initials H G. Sorry Terry Thanks Terry ! That's very much appreciated Could you possibly check for another name for me - my dad's brother, his name was Frank LUCKMAN and he was born around 1890 Many thanks. Best Wishes, Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Carter Posted 5 January , 2005 Share Posted 5 January , 2005 Hi Margaret There was a Lance Corporal F Luckman No.2496 of the Royal Warwicks (battalion unknown) his name appeared in the wounded list published in the Birmingham Daily Post on 27 Sept 1916. However I cannot guarantee he is the same person. Regards Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec McCudden Posted 9 January , 2005 Share Posted 9 January , 2005 I hope Terry or someone can help with this chap. Edward William Harry Harknett. I think he was a Lance Corporal and know he survived the war. I don't know which battalion he served in or anything else about his war service. Any information will, as ever be gratefully recieved. Thank you in anticipation Alec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunkeroo Posted 9 January , 2005 Share Posted 9 January , 2005 Hi Rob Thanks for the offer to search your data base. Have you any info on Lance Corporal GARNET MORRIS 1/6 Royal Warwicks, regimental number 242685. He was killed in action on 16th April 1917 and is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial.

Terry Carter Posted 9 January , 2005 Share Posted 9 January , 2005 For Alec Can I ask why the interest in Edward William Harry Harknett ? There was a Sgt Edward H Harknett (known as 'Ted') No.685 who served in the 2nd Birmingham Battalion (15th Royal Warwicks). He served in C Company, No.11 platoon. He was wounded during the latter stages of the Somme battle (probably Morval) and his name appeared in the Birmingham Daily Post casualty list on 30 October, 1916. He finished the war as R.Q.M.S. In 1922 he was a member of 'C' Company 1914-15 Club, 2nd Birmingham Bn. His address was 246 St Vincent Street, Ladywood, Birmingham If this his your man, then I probably have a photo of him.

Alec McCudden Posted 9 January , 2005 Share Posted 9 January , 2005 Hi Terry, Thanks for the information. Yeah, this sounds like him. I know his daughter who is desperate to find out more about him. His medals and other memorabilia were stolen from her mother in the 1970's during a burglary I think. All she recalls is that he was wounded. I have a couple poor quality copies of photographs of him, the first is him in hospital blues and the other is him in full uniform and on a horse. I'm sure I could arrange to send you some copies if you are interested although I will need your address if you will pass it to me off-line. In the meantime, if you have any further information on him, I would be most grateful Thanks Alec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Carter Posted 9 January , 2005 Share Posted 9 January , 2005 Alec Theres not much more I can tell you about him. The photograph below is taken from my book 'Birmingham Pals'. I just took a snap of it with my digital camera. I will try and sort out the picture and do a better scan tomorrow. Sgt Ted Harknett is standing on the left. The picture was taken in the summer of 1917. Regards Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec McCudden Posted 11 January , 2005 Share Posted 11 January , 2005 Terry Attached are three photographs of Ted Harknett, courtesy of his daughter (I hope they come out!). You will see that one is the same as the picture you posted. You may be interested to know that apparently Ted is on the right, not the left as you indicated.

kingsman64 Posted 14 January , 2005 Share Posted 14 January , 2005 Terry Do you have any information on 16291 l/Sgt. Lewis Nixon of the 9th Battalion Royal Warwickshire Regiment who won the M.S.M. in Transcaspia in 1919. I believe that this "Mallenson Mission" MSM for Transcaspia is unique to the regiment only one company of the 9th Warwick's in krasnovodsk. In fact most of the Mallenson Mission troops where colonials so his MSM could be unique to the British Army. Any further information on him greatfully received. Many thanks Paul.

Terry Carter Posted 14 January , 2005 Share Posted 14 January , 2005 Paul I have contacted my Mate Kevan Darby (a member of this Forum) He is compiling a mass of research on the 9th Royal Warwicks. If he finds anything I will let you know. By the way could Lewis Nixon have had a brother? In the Royal Warwicks Casualty list published in the Birmingham Daily Post on 10 May, 1917 there is an Pte A Nixon 16292 wounded. The next service number up from Lewis.

kingsman64 Posted 14 January , 2005 Share Posted 14 January , 2005 Thanks Terry sounds like to much of a coincidence, off I go on another tangent I love this hobby! Please let me know if Kevan turns anything up. I have L/SGT Nixon's MSM in superb condition with the original issue letter and London Gazette details. His BWM/Victory must be out there somewhere. Would love to reunite them. Best regards Paul KINGSMAN64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest caelwyn Posted 26 January , 2005 Share Posted 26 January , 2005 Hi Rob - Terry. Can you help me by checking your data base for info on William Kendrick of the Royal Warwickshire Battalion RGA He was from Wednesbury-Walsall. Did the Local papers at the time of WW1 print the names of the locals who had enlisted. I no my Gt grandfather William was injured during the war. Did the local press report on all casualties of the War. Does the data base tell of the locations the Btn - Regt was at. If so could you see if they were in La bassee in Oct - Dec 1915. Thanks Gwyn. Afterthought could this data base not be put on a disc and sold via the web-sight I am sure it would sell like hot cakes, and would give back something for all the work it must have taken in the research field.

AGWR Posted 4 April , 2005 Share Posted 4 April , 2005 Rob Do you have anything on 2nd Lt Ernest Ronald Shuttleworth? He was killed in action on the first day of the Somme with the 8th Battalion Royal Warwickshire Regiment. I am aware that he was commissioned into the Warwickshires from the Royal Naval Division but have no details of his service with the Regiment. A photograph of him would be a real bonus. Regards Mark <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Mark, Apologies for the somewhat strange posting! I used to live in Nether Edge (17yrs ago) and I recall seeing this name on an overgrown grave in the disused cemetery which I used to pass en route to the pub. If I remember rightly, it was on his father's grave not far from the church. Were you aware of this? Regards, AGWR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
