Rob B Posted 9 April , 2006 Share Posted 9 April , 2006 Hello John, Would love to take up your kind offer, I am looking into a Captain John Lindsay Lyle of the Royal Irish Rifles he came from Glenavy in County Antrim and if you can throw any light on him it would be much appreciated. Thanks, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkalotloudly Posted 9 April , 2006 Author Share Posted 9 April , 2006 hi Rob, no mention of a captain John Linsay Lyle but the embarkation roll of 1915 lists a John Lyle L/Cpl is this your man prior to promotion?? regards john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted 13 April , 2008 Share Posted 13 April , 2008 You were spot on, not a Captain but by 1918 a Sgt serving with the 11th Battalion so any info on John would be fantastic. Best wishes, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
