Just my luck that the memorial I am looking up does not have any officers killed in 1914. No doubt though that what you have there will be a god send to some.

Hello Tafski,

any chance you could look up the following officer for me,

PHILIP CHABERT KIDD, Second Lieutenant, Yorkshire Regiment, KIA, 30/10/1914. Even up until at least October 1915 Lt Kidd was presumed to have been wounded and taken prisoner, sadly this was not to be.

kind regards,

Pete.

Hmmmmn ... seeing as though i research a Rgt and not a Memorial, is the offer open to nuisances like me?!!

I have a fair bit on most of the 1st & 2nd Btn Officers died in 1914 but am always interested in & looking for more. If there is anything on any of the Beds Officers and you ahve the time / patience, I woudl be grateful for whatever is available, including piccies. If not possible, then I completely understand.

If its easier to scan & mail rather than type, my email is steve@bedfordregiment.org.uk

Either way, nice of you to offer!
