AGWR Posted 24 January , 2004 Share Posted 24 January , 2004 Hello Alibee, Thanks for replying. I have had a look at that website and I can't find any mention of this CD. Is it just me being gormless? (probably!) I don't suppose that you can search by battalion??? I will have a look at my database and ascertain just how cheeky I need to be!

rflory Posted 24 January , 2004 Share Posted 24 January , 2004 The CD is sold by Jane Jones from her webpage, www.ww1photos.com, and on Speedbid. She also sells individual photos. So far I have purchased the following CDs from her: Officers Died 1916 Part I Gallipoli World War One Group Photos McCorquodale Roll of Honour British Jewry Book of Honour 1914-1918 They are all quite well done and IIRC are priced at about £7 each.

Alison Arnold Posted 25 January , 2004 Author Share Posted 25 January , 2004 I don't suppose that you can search by battalion??? Hi Andy, I haven't found a way of searching by battalion. It would make life easier. As Dick says it is sold by Jane Jones I have also bought quite a few photos from her. She also sells on Ebay. May be worth having a look on their for it as well. Once you have looked on your database feel free to be cheeky! Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthony Posted 18 February , 2004 Share Posted 18 February , 2004 Hi Ali, If at all possible any chance of a look up of these three men of the 4th Battalion Kings Own Royal Lancaster Regiment, killed on the 8th August 1916? Lt-Col J.L. Swainson D.S.O. Capt. R.D'A Morrell Capt. A.A. Wright Thanks for your time and effort, Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alison Arnold Posted 19 February , 2004 Author Share Posted 19 February , 2004 Hi Anthony, Nothing on Morrell or Wright. I do have something on Swainson but he is down as duke of Cornwalls Light Infantry. Assuming this is the same man I have given his details and attached a photo. Details as follows: Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Leonard Swainson DSO 6th Btn Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry Died on 09/08/1916. Age 39 Son of Joseph and Sarah Swainson, of Stonecross, Kendal. CORBIE COMMUNAL CEMETERY EXTENSION Somme France Hope this helps Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony Posted 19 February , 2004 Share Posted 19 February , 2004 Hi Ali, Thanks for the look-up. This is definitely the same man. Swainson was of the D.C.L.I. until the 25th June 1916, when he took command of the 4th Bn KORL just before their assault on Guillemont on the 8th August 1916. Incidentally it was during this action that Gabriel Coury won his V.C., carrying the mortally wounded Swainson from the battlefield under ferocious fire that day. Thanks a lot for your help Ali-delighted with what you found. Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest drapersj Posted 10 March , 2004 Share Posted 10 March , 2004 My husband's family were sent a letter by the then Major JL Swainson of DCLI notifying them of his great Uncle being injured in September 1915. It's a kindly worded letter, so he was obviously a thoughtful man. The letter may also have been prompted by the fact that both men were from Westmoreland. Sadly, the great uncle referred to was repatriated from 17th casualty clearing station but died in October in England before making it home to Kendal. Can anyone tell me where exactly the 17th casualty clearing station was based in September 1915? Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
