Hambo Posted 13 November , 2005 Share Posted 13 November , 2005 Jerry Could you look up what they were up to on the 6th of November 1917. I have a man I'm researching died in Egypt, sound right? He has a TF number, were they a TF unit, sound like a service battalion Thanks in advance Hambo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrymurland Posted 14 November , 2005 Author Share Posted 14 November , 2005 November 6th 1917 the unit was engaged in the Battle of Sheria, heavy casualties: Out of the 400 involved in the action 6 officers killed or wounded, 31 ORs killed, 88 wounded. Unit history:.......'they (the battalion) had outshot, out manoeuvred and out fought a stubborn and courageous enemy........ I can scan the relevant pages for you if you wish. Let me know. Can also look up your man'. The Sussex Yeomanry were a Territorial Force (if thats what TF means!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambo Posted 14 November , 2005 Share Posted 14 November , 2005 Jerry I would love the scanned pages, I'll PM you with my e mail. My man is Pvt Ernest Harding TF/315387 if he's in there Many Thanks Hambo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrymurland Posted 14 November , 2005 Author Share Posted 14 November , 2005 Hambo, there is a private R.H. Harding listed who served in Gallipoli, Palestine and Flanders. Your man was KiA/died in Egypt/Palestine but don't concern yourself, I have found the account to be a little inaccurate in places. My grandad Douglas Alan Watts is also reported as having served in Flanders, when in actual fact he did not! He is listed only as Douglas Watts. no regimental or service numbers are listed. I suspect some of the initials of serving men had been transcribed incorrectly as well. Will scan the pages but you may have to wait a few days.
