LtColSki USMC0302 Posted 30 July , 2005 Share Posted 30 July , 2005 Thanks Dick! I appreciate the quick turn. I take it that the info is from the Dulwich College records? I was hoping that it might mention something about his time in the Interpreters Corps. His MIC indicates that he served there prior to the South Staffs Labor Battalion. Still, some great info! Thanks again. Regards, ~Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rflory Posted 30 July , 2005 Author Share Posted 30 July , 2005 Dan: The material on Eales was from the "Dulwich College Register, 1619 to 1926" and "Dulwich College War Record, 1914-1919." Nothing about his service with the Interpreters Corps. Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
