Guest KevinEndon Posted 6 June , 2006 Share Posted 6 June , 2006 I can't find the MIC info on Sapper Arthur William Upward. R.E could have been in the inland waterways and docks. I have got his name from his S.W.B. but that doesn't give his army number. Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveE Posted 6 June , 2006 Share Posted 6 June , 2006 Your title and body text don't tie up, is it 'Upworth' or 'Upward' you can't find? There's this one for an Arthur Upward Medal card of Upward, Arthur Corps Regiment No Rank Scots Guards 8970 Private Royal Engineers 317521 Private Royal Engineers WR/300293 Sapper Link to card is Here Nothing at all for any Upworths.

Guest KevinEndon Posted 6 June , 2006 Share Posted 6 June , 2006 Doh my error it is Upward. Must be late in the evening. Arthur Upward R.E Do you know what the WR means in front of 300293 and why is one engineer a private the other a sapper I thought they were all without rank were sappers in the Royal Engineers.

SteveE Posted 6 June , 2006 Share Posted 6 June , 2006 why is one engineer a private the other a sapper I, like yourself, though that all Engineers (of the equivalent rank to Private) were Sappers (or Drivers), perhaps the clerk filling out the card got carried away entering Private as a rank or it's been transcribed wrong when it's been put online.
