ger_g Posted 27 October , 2007 Share Posted 27 October , 2007 Hi folks I turned up a regimental number through the London Gazette that might be my Wally... hoping someone out there might be able to help with more info about him through the Reg records? 237093 Pte Evans,W., 1st Bn. (T.F.) (Ross) I'm hoping the first name is Wallace, born 1872 in Ross; his brother Alfred was also in the 1/1st Hefs. Both brothers survived the war. Is there a kind soul with an interest in the Hefs that might be able to help me out? Thanks for your time - it's greatly appreciated! Cheers Ger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelPack Posted 27 October , 2007 Share Posted 27 October , 2007 Ger I am afraid that the MM promulgation that you turned up was for a Walter: Medal card of Evans, Walter Corps Regiment No Rank Hertforshire Regiment 237093 Private The refernce to the Hertfordshire Regiment is probably a transcription error on the MIC index.

ger_g Posted 27 October , 2007 Author Share Posted 27 October , 2007 Anything's possible Wull - was that two C's after his first name? As far as I know he had no middle names. He's a world champion hide-and-seek player, though! Thanks! Ger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshdoc Posted 27 October , 2007 Share Posted 27 October , 2007 Prehaps changing your title may help get information as you mention Herefordshire in the title but thereafter Hertfordshire Regiment . ok it is Herefordshire everyone else is wrong.

ger_g Posted 27 October , 2007 Author Share Posted 27 October , 2007 Hi doc - I have seen Hertfordshire many times as a mistranscription of Herefordshire but Wally was definitely a Herefordshire boy. Ger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ger_g Posted 27 October , 2007 Author Share Posted 27 October , 2007 Wow thanks folks! You're all so helpful! I believe Wallace's mother was Eliza and his father John. Just have to keep searching the needle in the haystack , I spose. Thanks again for your time and effort, folks! Much appreciated! Ger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
