homeguard Posted 12 February , 2006 Share Posted 12 February , 2006 Hi, have recently discovered that I have 3 great uncles that served in the KSLI during the war, besides their names and dob I have no other info, I have been advised to try and find Annette in relation to the 6th Shropshires on this site because she has info on men who served with the KSLI, if I am mistaken, sorry!!

John_Hartley Posted 12 February , 2006 Share Posted 12 February , 2006 Annette is THE expert on the battalion and her Forum user name is unsurprisingly "6th Shropshires". Drop her a Personal Message. Copies of her book "6th Battalion, King's Shropshire Light Infantry, 1914-19" are available from Amazon (and, no doubt, other sources - but you can buy from Amazon via the Forum and the Forum owner gets a cut towards running costs) John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebie9173 Posted 12 February , 2006 Share Posted 12 February , 2006 Annette, Can you tell the Regimental Museum not to keep closing when I'm in town?! That's twice now.... The whole castle was closed yesterday! Steve. P.S. I know. It doesn't open until the 14th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Hartley Posted 12 February , 2006 Share Posted 12 February , 2006 Annette Funnily enough, I've been sorting out the list of KSLI men this weekend. I'll drop you an email/PM later in the week. Anything you've got from the database, gratefully received (if I'm being too cheeky with such a big list - about 40, feel free to tell me to "go away"). Your offer is very kind.

6th Shropshires Posted 13 February , 2006 Share Posted 13 February , 2006 John- no problem with long list, just glad to help with any memorial project. Steve-I guess because its a small Museum, its closes over the winter to save money hopefully next time you visit it will be open. Annette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
