SuziejMartin Posted 23 April , 2006 Share Posted 23 April , 2006 Hi My great Uncle, Jack Welch/Welsh, who died during WW1, was in the Royal Artilley Band based at Woolwich. How can I find out which regiment or battalion he served with? Regards Suzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldstreamer Posted 23 April , 2006 Share Posted 23 April , 2006 Hello I think you have answered some of your own question - "the Royal Artillery" "Band! They didnt have battalions (batterys ?) but Im not qualified to talk about the Artillery! Do you know his number at all ? Or any middle names? It will make the medal index card search easier..

SuziejMartin Posted 23 April , 2006 Author Share Posted 23 April , 2006 Hello Ian Thanks for replying. As you can probably tell, I know very little about the Army. I have only recently discovered that my family has quite a srong army connection from before WW1. My great Uncles Birth Cert records his name as John Leslie Russell Welsh born 28/2/1886 in Charlton, Woolwich. I think he was known as Jack Welch, or at least, that's how he signed himself on his last postcard to his brother. Regards Suzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
