Wesley Posted 15 June , 2007 Share Posted 15 June , 2007 Glyn - Thanks for the ‘look-up’ offer. That document has been ‘unavailable’ on my last two visits to Kew! Would you mind checking for mentions of the following… Alfred Geoffry BEVILLE 2/Lieut. KIA 08.04.17 Probably no chance of anything with these two –being ORs – but if you don’t mind looking… Eric WATERSON Rifleman 4051 (‘A’ Coy.)’ KIA 09.07.16 Ambrose Joseph ILLINGWORTH Rifleman 552418 KIA 06.11.17 Thanks, Wesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertBr Posted 15 June , 2007 Share Posted 15 June , 2007 I am interested in the action of 28/29th March 1918 ie the Mars Offensive. I have the History of the 56th Division which is reasonably comprehensive, it places the Queen's Westminstes in Thames Valley trench. Any further details would be welcome, especially mentions of the RFA. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrrip Posted 16 June , 2007 Share Posted 16 June , 2007 Hi Glyn Could you look up a Sgt Bulford for me - MM & Bar; looking at the Gazette dates I am sure both awards were for Cambrai in two separate actions; he is mentioned in the History ; would very much like to pin down the actual events for these; he was ex 2/2 londons and a platoon Sgt at cambrai I think many thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hambo Posted 16 June , 2007 Share Posted 16 June , 2007 Hi Glyn I have a man I'm interested in Rifleman Harry George Stacey who was wounded on the 8th of April 1917 and I wondered if you could let me know where and what the battalion were up to for him to get his wound. I found his records at Kew so I've got a fair amount on him (for his Grandaughter) such as he was sent to hospital in Edinburgh and was wounded in the left hand and right foot. He survived the war being wounded again in 1918 but this time with the 1/9th Battalion which he was posted to after his recovery from the first wound with the 1/16th Thanks Hambo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kemrobson Posted 11 September , 2007 Share Posted 11 September , 2007 Glyn I would be very grateful if you could find any information on my Great Uncle, John Waterhouse, R/43655 K R R C, posted 1/16th Bn London R, KIA 28 August 1918. (Formerly 20586 West Riding Regiment). Incidentally the medal card description on Documents Online has his Regiment No. as R9505 but his actual MIC has 43655. Is this a mistake or would his number have been changed on his transfer to the 1/16th and was there a connection between the KRRC and the 1/16th? Any details of the events leading up to 28 August 1918 from the War Diary would be greatly appreciated. Regards Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaymen Posted 11 September , 2007 Author Share Posted 11 September , 2007 Keith Not too sure about the numbering, but as for the war diary, if you care to PM your e-mail address I will gladly send you the diary for the whole of August. Plenty going on at the end of the month, and a map. Glyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt Bulford and Lt Ormiston were together that day, and he awarded his MM for the same action. Kind regards Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
