Red Horseshoe Posted 2 December , 2006 Share Posted 2 December , 2006 I am sorry but its all the info i have on him as he is comemorated on his parents grave in Scotland i do have a pic of him and he has the Imperial Service badge above his right breast pocket. Allan Allan If he has the Imperial Service brooch, he must have been a Territorial, right?. So from the given choices (L/Cpl (8th btn), A/Cpl(2nd btn) or Pte(4th btn)) it can only be the Private in 1/4th Battalion. I suppose he could possibly have transferred to the Regular 2nd Bn or the 'Kitchener' 8th Bn, but it's not that likely. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysticalmac Posted 3 December , 2006 Author Share Posted 3 December , 2006 Hi Rob Thanks for the response but that would sound about right all i have to do now is find out the place he is buried in and the battle he died in ( I think it might have been Ypres) Allan If he has the Imperial Service brooch, he must have been a Territorial, right?. So from the given choices (L/Cpl (8th btn), A/Cpl(2nd btn) or Pte(4th btn)) it can only be the Private in 1/4th Battalion.
