Jerrymurland Posted 12 November , 2005 Share Posted 12 November , 2005 Yet another Murland causing me grief! Capt. Warren Murland. North Irish Horse, D Squadron I think. MiD 15.5.17 then posted on 17.7.18 to 17th Brigade RGA for duty with Artillery horse lines. Wondering what this was about, have no info that he was wounded or anything. I'm hoping the Mid might throw a light on it. However having some trouble finding the Mid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshdoc Posted 12 November , 2005 Share Posted 12 November , 2005 Hi I gather you have been searching the London Gazette online. I have just carried out an experiment to see how good the system is. In front of me I have a page of MID from the LG I have tried to search 10 of the less common names, all failed. the numbers were much better found all in the test, tried the page number failed. Tried name and number with correst gaps commas etc total failure. So numbers are best but not much help for an officer Im afraid. Gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBettsMCDCM Posted 13 November , 2005 Share Posted 13 November , 2005 As you have Gazette date for MiD,I would search within a week either side using the various date option,& just his Surname,ie Murland,if his Christian name{s} are on another line a search would not show them,so especially with unusual surnames I find using just that,sans Forenames /Initials works~~ except in this case apparently!,However a quick search throws up a Murland but not him,being posted from RIR to General List 12.06.1917 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
