Lincolnsreg Posted 1 September , 2009 Author Share Posted 1 September , 2009 Hi Danielle, All the battalion diaries mention is: "1st – 2nd February 1917 RANCOURT In the Trenches in the front line, right battalion left Brigade RANCOURT Sector. (a fairly quiet time) 3rd February 1917 MAUREPAS Ravine The Battn was relieved by the 2nd Royal Berkshire Regt and moved into Brigade reserve into Camp in MAUREPAS Ravine. (5 OR Killed 10 OR Wounded)" It sounds as though he was probably killed in the trenches, as there was no offensive or attacks at that time. Sorry there is no more info. Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phynes Posted 4 March , 2011 Share Posted 4 March , 2011 Hello I guess this post is a little dated now - I am very keen to have know what the 2nd Battalion was doing between 1901 and 1903 - I am researching a distant cousin called Robert Pilch. He was a private at the time, although he had served in the regiment since 1881.

hill89 Posted 31 July , 2011 Share Posted 31 July , 2011 Hi, I am researching Private William Sparks (of the Prince of Wales's Volunteers - South Lancashire Regiment) who died 4 Oct 1915 at "France & Flanders." That is all the info given in the citation copied below. There is much info regarding this Regiment for 1916, but I could only find the following info for the time this soldier was killed in 1915:- "The Prince of Wales' Volunteer (South Lancashire) Regiment was briefly in France (7 September 1915 to 29 October 1915) and then departed from Marseilles for the Salonika front, where they spent the rest of the war." This was written by Iain Kerr (in 1999) who also wrote: "The 11th (Service) Battalion of The King's Own (Royal Lancaster Regiment) was formed at Lancaster in August 1915 as a 'bantam' battalion, consisting of men who were below the pre-war height limits for recruits. Many of these were miners or mill workers – stunted by poor diet and social conditions. They were led by officers drawn from conventional regiments. The battalion moved to Aldershot as part of 120th Brigade in the 40th Division and were based at Blackdown, Lancs. Do you know where I could find more info on the military action of the The Prince of Wales' Volunteer (South Lancashire) Regiment in France/Flanders from 7 September 1915 to 29 October 1915? I am particularly interested in military engagements up to and including 4 Oct 1915 when Pte Wm Sparks was killed.

Guest minidvr Posted 28 January , 2013 Share Posted 28 January , 2013 I am trying to find out when and where 9053 Private Ernest Charles Robert Brown, 2nd Battalion The Lincolnshire Regiment was wounded. He was a Regular Soldier and was with the Battalion in Portsmouth in the 1911 Census and presumably went with them to Bermuda. His medal card shows that he embarked with the BEF with 2nd Bn on 5 Nov 1914. He was medically discharged due to wounds on 28 Feb 1916. His Service record is not available having been destroyed in the bombing during WW2. Any help you can give would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip1barnes Posted 3 February , 2013 Share Posted 3 February , 2013 Hello I understand that my grandfather Benjamin Barnes joined the 2nd Battalion the Lincolnshire in late 1917 with servie number 65037. He had previously served with the 1/5th Yorks and Lancs from 1914 and then transferred to the RE in Jan 16 (he was previously a coal miner). He was discharged from the RE in April 17 with the Silver War Badge but then joined the lincolns. Would you have any details which might confirm this and that he was definitiely 2nd Battalion. Many thanks. Philip Barnes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an experience he enjoyed according to the family story and after that he never left the farm in Lincolnshire again.
