National Roll of The Great War

[susanhemmings]

Hi Susan,

I'd be obliged if you can check the following family members for me;

1) Albert Edward Anscombe - Royal Garrison Artillery (service number 374366?)

2) Albert Edward Gearing - Royal Army Veterinary Corps SE/7211 - Believed to have been discharged through wounds received.

3) Robert Ernest Cuthbert - We believe he was Royal Flying Corps based on a photo we have of him.

4) Edwin Frederick William Bird - no information available so far

5) Captain Richard Philip Stanhope

Thanks in advance,

Ryan

Thanks Ian

Ian, the index is in a book form - just gives references to sections (either purchaed in book or on cd).

i have just purchased 11 of the 14 sections of the great war index.

i think you can probably search via the adobe function once you know the correct disc to search on although i have not yet tried this. I only assume this as i was looking for the surname "church" and got up hundreds of references on the disc to all manner of church references, streets named church and places with church in the title.

so if i can help and you know the disc or want anything looked up let me know either via this forum or personal email to

susanhemmings@fsmail.net

Hi Susan, Can you explain what you have there, it is just an index, yes? and if so wher can one purchase the individual CDS for each roll of honour?

Typically I have a couple of names that frustrate me::

Pvt Rhys Taliesin Davies MM Glamorgan Yeomanry 1064 and Welch Reg 320556 from Bridgend, Glamorgan

Pvt Henry? Horne Actually the MIC shows name as "Horne Horne"!! Tank Corp 78002

L/Cpl Edward E Garwood 8th Devon 9823 from Devon.

If you can help with those names and let me have more info on where I might get this CD set.

Thanks

Peter, what I have is the National Roll (Index) which supposedly lists all men in the war (those that survived anyway)

I also have purchased individual set of the CDS - got them from Archive CD Books as a job lot . I know a few CD software firms do them (S and N and Archive Books) but I managed to get these at a good price.

Naval and Military press publish each of the books but they are 38.00 each. whilst the CDs are something like 14.00 each.

I have all of the CDs (11) for the districts except Bedfordshire (secion 12) and section 9 (Bradford) but hoping to get the Bradford one this month. Having no luck finding the Bedfordshire one on CD so will probably have to resort to the book form. ugh.

The index just gives a reference to the section and page number of that section. So am of now to have a look for you. Will reply when I find something out.

Susan.

Susan.

Right Peter, have had a look. What I have from the index is (and bearing in mind the index only has surname and initial)

Rhys Davies Two mentions for an R Davies one in Volume 1 London page 82 another in Volume 13 London - this chap was a sgt. RASC lived in Greenwich.

RE: Horne: Four mentions in the index.

ist: Volume 1 page 169 - not your one

2nd: Volume 5 page 182 - it reads: Private H Horne. RASC - Joined June 1916, served on important transport duties. He was not successful in going to a theatre of war before hostilities had ceased, but rendered valuable services and was demobilised in April 1919. Lived at 22 Bedford Road, St Albans.

------ any good?

3rd mention: Volume 13 (london again) page 227 chap was in rifle brigade - lived in Greenwich

Fourth mention: Vulume 13 (as above) page 228 chap was HA Horne - rifleman KRRC - lived Sydenham SE26

RE: Garwood: Only mention from index is an EJ Garwood - Volume 12 page 310 (this is the volume I do not have as it deals with Bedford) But when I get round to getting the book will have a look for you.

Anything else I can help you with just let me know or email me at:

susanhemmings@fsmail.net

I will do my utmost to help.

Best wishes to you

Susan.

(Ps sorry for delay - have been too busy at work)

Hi Susan

Is it your understanding that the 'National Roll' project was unfulfilled in that it became too big and was cancelled therefore it did not capture all returned men. I must say that that is my understanding and consequently that would be why I can't find my dad. He came from Rochdale and therefore is not covered by the Manchester & Salford volumes. I hope you can tell me I have been misinformed

By the way, I have electronic copies of the Manchester & Salford volumes.

Cheers

Bob

Peter, what I have is the National Roll (Index) which supposedly lists all men in the war (those that survived anyway)...

Actually Susan, it's a long way short of all men in the war and as you know, it also contains details of some women who served (including munitions' workers). Naval and Military Press states that details on "well over 100,000 men and women" are contained within the 14 volumes. That information was, I believe, supplied by relatives or the individuals themselves and is not always very reliable. Nevertheless, it can still be a useful additional reference source.
