SteveE Posted 13 October , 2006 Share Posted 13 October , 2006 I have a number of Royal Fusiliers in my 25th Bn. Royal Fusiliers database who were transferred to the Essex Regiment. I haven't as yet been able to check the Medal Rolls for these men and was wondering if there are any Essex experts on the forum who can identify which Battalion they were transferred to and when it may have occured. 13395 N. EVANS, to 25854 Serjeant Essex Regiment 12897 Alfred LUKE, to 28473 Private Essex Regiment 13178 A. LEE, to 28602 Lance Corporal Essex Regiment 13640 John J. FLOOD, to 252554 Private Essex Regiment 13280 Sidney GOULDING, to 252571 Private Essex Regiment 14913 Herbert MANNINGTON, to 252607 Private Essex Regiment 13469 James HUNT, to 252620 Private Essex Regiment 12950 George EVANS, to 252623 Private Essex Regiment 13419 Arthur J. LIDDIARD, to 252624 Private Essex Regiment 15121 William Charles WATKINS, to 252626 Private Essex Regiment 15115 Colonel JACKSON, to 252812 Corporal Essex Regiment Any help gratefully received.

Stebie9173 Posted 13 October , 2006 Share Posted 13 October , 2006 The six digit TF numbers are 5th Battalion if that helps. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owen4256 Posted 13 October , 2006 Share Posted 13 October , 2006 13395 N. EVANS, to 25854 Serjeant Essex Regiment 2nd Garrison Bn January 1916 12897 Alfred LUKE, to 28473 Private Essex Regiment March 1916 13178 A. LEE, to 28602 Lance Corporal Essex Regiment March 1916 13640 John J. FLOOD, to 252554 Private Essex Regiment 2/5th? Feb 1917? 13280 Sidney GOULDING, to 252571 Private Essex Regiment 2/5th? Feb 1917? 14913 Herbert MANNINGTON, to 252607 Private Essex Regiment 2/5th? Feb 1917? 13469 James HUNT, to 252620 Private Essex Regiment 2/5th? Feb 1917? 12950 George EVANS, to 252623 Private Essex Regiment 2/5th? Feb 1917? 13419 Arthur J. LIDDIARD, to 252624 Private Essex Regiment 2/5th? Feb 1917? 15121 William Charles WATKINS, to 252626 Private Essex Regiment 2/5th? Feb 1917? 15115 Colonel JACKSON, to 252812 Corporal Essex Regiment 2/5th? Feb1917? Possibly later 10th First 3 dates pretty robust and Evans is 2nd Garrison The rest are early 1917. The initial battalion was probably 2/5th but a lot of 2/5th men were reposted to front line battalions 252811 was 10th Battalion. The rolls for the 28000 series don't show battalion numbers. The TF rolls all do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveE Posted 13 October , 2006 Author Share Posted 13 October , 2006 Many thanks guys, I had assumed that those with the six digit numbers were 5th Battalion but wanted confirmation, so that certainly helps. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
