Cheshire Regiment

[JulianB]

I am wondering if any Cheshire folk might be able to tell which Bn number 200578 might be in

I am trying to find a George Clifton who was certainly a POW in 1918, MIC online has a few possibilities this being the most probable

thanks

Thanks Mel,

Actually I've just been on the WO 161 site at TNA where amazingly they DO have his statement and refer to him as 9th Cheshires, possibly a mistake. The 4th makes much more sense as he came from Birkenhead. I'll go and check next time I'm in Kew.

Perhaps he trained with 9/Cheshire but was transferred before he went overseas. Not at all uncommon with Cheshires, particularly 1916 recruits which he may have been.

I don't know if it helps, but my great uncle was also from Birkenhead and also 1/4 Cheshires. His number was 202410:

Hi

Be really interested in anything you find out about 1/4th Cheshires. Particularly the Unit history relating to the last days of the war & the action at Tieghem (sp?)

Not a relative (it turns out) but a namesake of my Grandfathers from Wallasey:

Just in case anyone has long memories & a sense of 'deja vue' I was this poster too http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/i...mp;#entry206878 not sure why I've re-invented myself; apologies it's just age, not designed to confuse
