bigronhartley Posted 6 January , 2006 Share Posted 6 January , 2006 Hello Dick, thanks very much for your rapid response to my request for a lookup re: Edward John Patrick FitzGerald Macartney-Filgate. A great help in directing my future research efforts down the right path. Thanks again. Regards, Ron Hartley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigronhartley Posted 6 January , 2006 Share Posted 6 January , 2006 Hello Dick, Could I prevail upon you again to look up Lt Col Hugh Auriol Stanton Stanton, DSO. He was educated at Radley College somewhere between 1890-1898. In addition, I have two Royal Artillery Officers who I have been researching, namely Brigadier General Clennell William Collingwood CMG, DSO and Lieutenant General Sir Herbert C C Uniacke KCB, KCMG, and would appreciate any information you might be able to access. They were both educated at The RMA, Woolwich. Thanks. Regards, Ron Hartley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambo Posted 8 January , 2006 Share Posted 8 January , 2006 Hi Dick I wondered if you had anything on Capt Malcomson Gardiner Donahoo 8th KOYLI DOW 31.1.17 educated at Charterhouse and Clare College Cambridge. I managed to get quite a bit on the soldiers section of the forum and wondered if you could find him in your records. Thanks Hambo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le_Treport Posted 11 January , 2006 Share Posted 11 January , 2006 Dick, This is a very kind offer you made over a year ago now! Could I ask if you have info on A.F.Berkeley and J.J.C.Berkeley at Bedford School (i.e. the public school in Bedford). They just might be entered as G.A.F. von Berckefeldt and J.J.C von Berckefeldt - although I doubt it as they changed their names at a young age. Thanks.

Stebie9173 Posted 15 January , 2006 Share Posted 15 January , 2006 Thanks, Dick. Just invested in Northamptonshire and the Great War, so got the Pic(s). Young looking chap in the portrait pic, but the moustache adds a little to his age in the officers line up... Nice hole in my wallet, by the way! Following up some of the Officers of the 6th Northamptonshires. Thanks for the information from the other books. It certainly adds to what I've already gathered. Many thanks again. Steve.

bigronhartley Posted 16 January , 2006 Share Posted 16 January , 2006 Hello Dick, I note from your earlier listings that you have a copy of The Shropshire Royal Horse Artillery 1912-1918 and Shropshire Gunners in Trenches. Could you please have a look to see if there is any mention of 604177, Cpl William Henry Redman who was awarded the Military Medal (London Gazette 11.2.1919) whist serving with 293 Brigade RFA. His number indicates service with the 1/1 Shropshire RHA who formed part of 293 Bde RFA in the Great War. Many thanks. Regards, Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rflory Posted 16 January , 2006 Author Share Posted 16 January , 2006 Ron: Unfortunately nothing about Cpl. Redman, probably because the pamphlet centers on the Shropshire men in the 58th TMB, RFA rather than on those who served in the 293rd Army Brigade, RFA.

bigronhartley Posted 16 January , 2006 Share Posted 16 January , 2006 Hello Dick, Thanks very much for looking for Cpl Redman. He was a Boer War Veteran (East Kent R LSGC) working as a groom on a Country Estate in Shropshire when war broke out. Hence his recruitment into the Shropshire RHA. Thanks again.

bigronhartley Posted 17 January , 2006 Share Posted 17 January , 2006 Hello Dick, Another of 'my men' I am researching is Major Douglas Harold Green, OBE, MC who served with the Royal Engineers (Special Reserve). He was educated at Bishops Stortford College and studied engineering at the City & Guilds Central Technical College, where he received the degree of BSc (Eng) in 1910. I would be most grateful if you could kindly have a look to see if he is mentioned in the above College Rolls. Many thanks for your help.
