Hi John

Thank you for looking for me. As Emly is my surname it is the main name I am interested in. The information you have given is very interesting as this is a new name for me.

Best wishes

Jenny Emly

Is this one of your men?

Only one in B'ham section.

John.

Cheers for the Eeles lookup in the Birmingham volume, not entirely sure if he is one of mine, his second initial has thrown me a bit but will check him out further.

Thanks again

Sorry all 3 not listed.

John.

Thanks for the look-up, it was a long shot.

Does the roll only feature men who served in the British Army, or Royal Navy and RFC/RAF men as well?

Hello John,

Any chance you could look for me in the London volumes for my grandfather William Mansell.

He was in the Royal Navy

His address given in 1918 was 45 Douglas Street,Kent(which I am told was in Deptford at that time)

Many thanks,

Ann

Hello John,

Just noticed this thread and thought I'd help overburden you at the weekend.

If you wouldn't mind, I'd be grateful if you could look for the following Southampton entry:

241499 Pte Walter J Smith, Hamps Reg.; enlisted S'ton and died May 1918.

Many thanks

Hello John, I was wondering if you could look up Pte 2778 Herbert Edward Airey of the 1/6th Royal Warwickshire Regt. He went to France on 22Mar 1915 was discharged on 31 May 1916; I have log books for his RAF flying training as a Sgt in April 1918, was wondering what he did for two years. He was from Birmingham. Any info would be a great help, thanks.

So how are the men who served in the Army before the war categorised, like where do they come from as a geographic listing?

I have a lookup for you S/18373 John Gregory Burd ASC settled in Portsmouth after the war, but entered the war in Egypt on the 5th Nov 1914

I have all 14 volumes of the National Roll of the Great War. Unfortunately some are at my house in England so cannot be quickly accessed.

The ones readily available are.

Section 1 London.

Section 3 London.

Section 4 Southampton.

Section 6 Birmingham.

Section 7 London.

Section 8 Leeds.

Section 9 Bradford.

Section 10 Portsmouth.

Section 13 London.

Section 14 Salford.

They each list a cross section of men who served with brief service history and home address. Names not restricted to casualties.

John

If this offer still stands can you have a look for the following, all from Bourton on the Water, Glous.:

William Jordan Palmer, Gloucestershire Reg.

Lewis G Palmer 18812 Beds. Reg

Arthur Palmer

Ernest Edward Palmer

John Henry Palmer

Stanley Palmer

Elias Palmer, 26890 Royal Warwickshire, 52271 Royal Irish Rifles, 230827 RGA

Frank Albert Palmer, 40801 RGA

Frank Palmer, 240931 Gloucestershire Reg.
