rmtruby Posted 25 July , 2005 Share Posted 25 July , 2005 As part of on-going research into my family history, I'm trying to find out the regiment which Ben Nock served in. He married my great aunt (who was the sister of L/Cpl E. S. Timmins DCM, Staffordshire Yeomanry). Any information would be appreciated.

rmtruby Posted 25 July , 2005 Author Share Posted 25 July , 2005 I'm sure the Benjamin Nock I'm after survived the war. Thanks Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmtruby Posted 25 July , 2005 Author Share Posted 25 July , 2005 I've just been on the PRO website, and it seems that Benjamin Nock was 23 in 1901 and worked as a gas works labourer in West Bromwich. Thanks Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
