Recommended Posts

Hello ,

My late grandfather enlisted Royal Warwicks on 25th May 1916 and finished in 290 POW Coy , Labour Corps, 311968, Private. He was billetted at a guest house in Exmouth prior to being shipped to France, this incidentaly is where he met my gran who was in service at this address aged 14. I wondered what he was doing in Exmouth?

Any suggestions welcomed,

Regards

Alan

Two possible options

1. Guard duty at the port

2 Training on the heath near Lympstone or using the rifle range to the east of the town (I think it was called Start Point) I used it in 1981
