Jack Sheldon Posted 12 November , 2007 Share Posted 12 November , 2007 I have been assisting in the research of Private Henry Baines, KIA May 1918 and buried at Dainville. A virtual box of chocolates and grateful thanks to anybody who can throw light on the obscurities in the Remarks box. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian turner Posted 12 November , 2007 Share Posted 12 November , 2007 Looks to have something missing (open brackets for starters) but the first line looks to lead upto K R = King's Regulations. The number thereafter would probably then be the KR reference (pals will know that one). Maybe the rest is info for the medal makers. It seems the numbers are repeated lower down in larger letters.

Jack Sheldon Posted 20 November , 2007 Author Share Posted 20 November , 2007 In this fast moving section, I am just pulling this one back to the top to see if anybody can help with the question. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebie9173 Posted 20 November , 2007 Share Posted 20 November , 2007 It might be KR 992 in which case, try this old topic: http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/i...p;p=733569& Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sheldon Posted 20 November , 2007 Author Share Posted 20 November , 2007 Steve I tend to agree with you. However there can be no case of desertion this time. Henry Baines was KIA. I wonder if attempts were made and failed to deliver his medals to his NOK (probably father and mother). However, the 1923 entry is superseded by another one, which seems to be dated 5 June 1924. This might indicate an issue when the NOK finally got in touch with the authorities. Any thoughts? Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
