sugerand Posted 7 December , 2005 Share Posted 7 December , 2005 I am intending to download an image of my Great Uncle's medal car and on viewing it he appears to have two regimental numbers. He is listed as: Private Frank Bowe no 4275, and Private Frank Bowe 266692. The second number is the one I am familiar with. Does this mean the he was enlisted twice?

Anthony Bagshaw Posted 7 December , 2005 Share Posted 7 December , 2005 He is listed as: Private Frank Bowe no 4275, and Private Frank Bowe 266692. The second number is the one I am familiar with. Does this mean the he was enlisted twice? Sue, No. What this means is that he was a Territorial and re-numbered during 1917. All the Territorial Battalions were renumbered during 1917 4275 is his pre 1917 number. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Bagshaw Posted 7 December , 2005 Share Posted 7 December , 2005 No Problem. Just out of interest, what Regiment are we looking at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugerand Posted 8 December , 2005 Author Share Posted 8 December , 2005 No Problem. Just out of interest, what Regiment are we looking at? As the earlier reply says it is the 1/7 Battallion of the West Yorks. My Great Uncle was KIA in 1917 at Passchendale. Any information would be gratefully received. I am particularly needing information on his regimental Career, all I know is when and where he died. Thanks for your interest. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
