Martyn Gibson Posted 20 March , 2006 Share Posted 20 March , 2006 Hi Rob, Do you have any details on the following set of brothers who I am certain were with the above regiment during the Great War. Matthew and Thomas Handley (Handly?) I am sorry but I don't at this moment in time have any further details. It is just a quick mailing to see if you do have anything on them. Kind regards Martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Carter Posted 20 March , 2006 Share Posted 20 March , 2006 Martyn The medal card index comes up with two Thomas Handleys service numbers 13339 & 16772. Nothing for Matthew for the Warwicks but there were three other Mathew Handleys in other regiments MATTHEW HANDLEY medal index Regards Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffsyeoman Posted 20 March , 2006 Share Posted 20 March , 2006 Point of protocol! (OK, it can be seen as nit-picking, but my dear, late Dad was one of them [officer, WW2] and these things mattered to him, and I'm maintaining the family tradition/honour) No-one calls them 'the Warwickshires' - even tho' it's creeping into books of late (!). Members of the extended regimental family are allowed to call them the "Warwicks", to everyone else it is the "Royal Warwicks" but never (what, never - no, never! - and not 'hardly ever' either G&S fans) "Warwickshires" - please? (I am not sure whether inappropriate use of epithet would result in the violent response engendered in calling a King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantryman a 'Coily' (KOYLI)' or a King's Own Scottish Borderer a 'Cosbee' [or for that matter a South Stafford a 'twister'] but it used to upset Dad, and that's enough for me!)
