sotonmate Posted 19 March , 2007 Share Posted 19 March , 2007 JOYCE Do you have any information on what regiment he was in. It will help to trace back where, and why he was there ! It may show something like 15th Regiment of Foot or something similar. Strictly of course this is a long time before the Great War began and outside of this Forum,but I will try to help.
