The 1915 Roll of Honour in "The Story of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment (Formerly the Sixth Foot) 1674 to 1920", by Charles Lethbridge Kingsford

lists:

Hamilton, Lt. T.K. 01/06/15

Payne, Lt. J.O. 25/04/15

as being in the 1st Battalion Royal Warwicks.

I cannot find these two Lieutenants on the CWGC site with this information.

Can anyone help me find them.

Regards

Richard

I have a copy of the book 'Bond of Sacrifice'. There is no info on Knox apart from date of death. However there is a photo and info regarding J O Payne.

Do you want a scan of the page put on this thread?

Hi Richard

The 'Bond of Sacrifice' covers all British Officers killed from the start of the war until June, 1915. If there are any others you want checking, please let me know. And that offer is open to any other Forum member too.
