Esskay Posted 8 January , 2008 Share Posted 8 January , 2008 I've used the limited search options on Find my Past - and can find one man of this name - but all his other details are different to the above as per CDGW The one I'm after is this one: Name: BOND, WILLIAM ERNEST Initials: W E Nationality: United Kingdom Rank: Private Regiment/Service: Northamptonshire Regiment Unit Text: 9th Labour Coy. Secondary Regiment: Labour Corps Secondary Unit Text: transf. to (87663) 147th Coy. Age: 22 Date of Death: 21/04/1918 Service No: 36644 Additional information: Son of C. Z. and E. Bond, of 25, Stainforth Rd., Battersea, London. Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead Grave/Memorial Reference: II. E. 15. Cemetery: WARLINCOURT HALTE BRITISH CEMETERY, SAULTY I'm trying to do some initial research before asking a Northants/Labour Corps question I've also got 2 other Labour Corps men who per CWGC died at home in 1919 - presume that's why I can't find them - and 2 others who are buried in France but died 24th and 26th November 1918 - so presume they missed a "cutoff date" too TIA Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
