michaeluk007 Posted 3 March , 2006 Share Posted 3 March , 2006 Please could anyone help me, I am trying to find out which Battalion my grandfather served in in the Great War. His service number was 5264, Private Frank Nash MM, RWR. Also any other info anyone might have about my grandfather would be fantastic. All i know is that he transfered to the 29th Machine Gun Corps in 1918 where he gained the Military Medal. Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
