Anthony Bagshaw Posted 7 December , 2005 Share Posted 7 December , 2005 (edited) Hi All, I am after any info or photos (copies of),including grave/memorial photos of men from Mansfield Woodhouse, whether a casualty or not, that the PALS may have or have seen. If you have medals/plaques etc i would also be interested to hear from you too. I am not after purchasing them but would just like to know if they are out there. If you have any and don't want to post, please PM me instead. Any info, however small it may seem will be very gratefully received. Thanks Edited 7 December , 2005 by Anthony Bagshaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Bagshaw Posted 11 December , 2005 Author Share Posted 11 December , 2005 Myrtle, I do have a photo of the War Memorial, i can send you a copy if you wanted one. It doesn't appear that Cpl Davies is one of my men so wont have anything on him i'm afraid. Annette, That will explain your interest then!! If there's anything i can do let me know!!

jim_davies Posted 16 December , 2005 Share Posted 16 December , 2005 Hi Anthony, Ball, Dunn, Hutchinson and Munks all appear to have been part of a draft of men who enlisted in the Leics in the first months of the war and transferred to the Lincolns in late November 1914. I haven't been able to determine why the transfer happened. Would be interested to see whether any of the obituaries confirm this. The majority of the men in the transfer went to the 1st and 2nd Lincs in drafts in the spring and summer of 1915, although a minority went to service battalions. Ball-the war diary for his date of death, I think, is on the main website. Dunn and Hutchinson-Bellewarde Ridge Marsh and Sarigson would have enlisted around 20 Jan 1915 Saxilby-probably enlisted around 12 Jan 1915 Hope this helps, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Bagshaw Posted 16 December , 2005 Author Share Posted 16 December , 2005 jim, Superb thank you. I have sent you a PM re the obituaries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
