Coldstream Guards battalion details held for individual men

[Coldstreamer]

Hello

Im about to start sorting some rolls that show the battalion that a man served in with the Coldstream Guards. Its not a complete list and doesnt show if he moved battalion but may be of some use...seems to be mainly men who enlisted before 12/12/14 which is useful as (for whatever reason) they choose not to put battalion details on 1914 stars to the Coldstream

post below if you want a look up and Ill see what I can find for you

This list doesnt show officers though

regards

Coldstreamer

Evening Coldstreamer,

Could you possibly comfirm whether Capt. Arthur Leigh-Bennett D.S.O. M.C. was in the 2nd Batt.

All info I have (which isn't alot) points towards the 2nd.

He was a local chap and I'm just starting research on local memorials etc and this gentleman popped up. I know he is

buried in Vermelles British Cemetery but I believe he also has a wooden grave marker in a local church.

Many thanks in advance.

Simon.

hello,

the roll to which i refer was men (not officers) so i will amend it

However, I do have a roll of officers

ALH was 2nd Btn - wounded 20.5.15 (probably shell fire according to war diary), killed 2nd Btn 3.10.15 "whilst going round the trenches"

regards

Coldstreamer,

Many thanks for looking that up.

I wanted to attach a picture of the cross which I mentioned in case you were interested. I have just arrived back and it is too large to attach but it does back up the 2nd Batt info.

Simon.

[Coldstreamer]

I'm not 100% on this being the right Amos but is the only one I could find on the medal cards, it's the wife's grandfather, not much information for him, he died 1923, but from family information he was in the Coldstream Guards, he came from Sheffield Yorkshire.

Here's his pic.

[Coldstreamer]

hello

next time I go to London I will get his papers and check if he is family for you

[neddy]

Would be eternally grateful.

Hello There,

A while ago you kindly gave me some infomation on Pte Absolom Snowley No. 7722 Coldstream Guards KIA 14.9.1914 at Vendresse.

I now have his Police Service records which states that he was in the Coldstream Guards before he joined the Police in 1911 and was last serving at Windsor Castle. He rejoined up into the Coldstream Guards in 1914.

I just wondered if you have any information on his previous service especially Windsor Castle?

Thanking you in advance

Hi Coldstreamer,

You kindly provided information about Edward Silvester Andrews, 13908, 4th Battalion Coldstream Guards. My wife and I visited his grave in June. It appears that he died in the field hospital following a bomb explosion. Would it be possible for you to obtain his papers for us when you go next? If so I'll pm you my details etc. Obviously any costs will be met.

Thanks

John

Ive looked in 4 records and all show killed (rather than died of wounds)

I can get you a digital copy of the papers next time I go
