7:29am Posted 14 March , 2006 Share Posted 14 March , 2006 Hi Tom, I don't know the query options of the database but i was wondering if you could search on a unit for example and pull out name, date of death and cemetery as a list. If so would you be so kind as to search on "C" Bty. 34th Army Bde. and 34th Bde. Just to see what happens please. Kind regards Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savenay Posted 18 March , 2006 Share Posted 18 March , 2006 If possible, could you look up the following French soldiers? (Unknown) Vallon, Major of Infantry, killed at Verdun early in war Julien Vallon, died of wounds just before Christmas 1917 (Unknown) Vallon, killed The Major was the father. Julien and the other were the two sons. I am afraid my information is a little vague, but a list of any Vallons killed would be useful to me. There is a small possibility the name might have a variable spelling, such as Vaillon, Valin, Valon, or Valons. A huge thank you for offering to do this! I apologize if I haven't provided enough detail. I unfortunately do not know any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 18 March , 2006 Author Share Posted 18 March , 2006 There were 86 Vallons killed in ww1 There are too many other versions of the name to keep going. I know you will enjoy searching for them yourself.

questor Posted 22 March , 2006 Share Posted 22 March , 2006 Could you please look for the death of William Craig. He served in the Manchester Regiment #8107 & the Lancashire Fusiliers #22647. According to CWGC, he died 5 Nov 1918. Thanks for all you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 22 March , 2006 Author Share Posted 22 March , 2006 SDGW says he was born in Pendlebury in Lancs and enlisted in Manchester, 'died' 5/11/18. It also says he was a Lance Corporal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOSTURM Posted 19 April , 2006 Share Posted 19 April , 2006 SDGW says he was born in Pendlebury in Lancs and enlisted in Manchester, 'died' 5/11/18. It also says he was a Lance Corporal Hi Tom, Do you have any information on the CCS's where the 5th Londons (169 Bde, 56 Divn) would have sent their men between 1915 and 1918 on the Western Front ?

museumtom Posted 20 April , 2006 Author Share Posted 20 April , 2006 I have the locations of the CCS's for the war but you would have to be specific. Which locations or which CCs's. Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregs_yorkley Posted 21 April , 2006 Share Posted 21 April , 2006 HI Tom, I wonder if you would be kind enough to do a lookup on the Soldier Died in the Great War CD for me. I'm looking for Pte William Robert Jones GS/22645 Royal Fusiliers. The information I have seems to indicate that he died sometime after 30/12/1917 as the family have a postcard sent from him in France postmarked that date - although this could of course be a red herring. I have been unable to find him so far on the CWGC website, although with such a relatively common name, if the MIC info is not a 100% correct or the CWGC info is wrong, I might need to wade through a lot of Jones' to find him. Any help much appreciated. Thanks Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cager Posted 21 April , 2006 Share Posted 21 April , 2006 Hi Tom, I'm looking for Private William Martin 205884 4th Bn. Bedfords. My main question is; was there a Casualty Clearing Station at Martinsart, possibaly in the area of Martinsart British Cemetery? I've got a feeling that he was wounded, but died in a CCS. It's just a hunch! Many thanks, Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 21 April , 2006 Author Share Posted 21 April , 2006 Pte William Robert Jones GS/22645 Royal Fusiliers. No information on this person, There is another guy, a Sgt of this name with the royal Fusiliers but with an different number that died after 1917 from Hounslow. Can you give me his address or where he was born? I also searche for his number in SDGW without success. Sorry Private William Martin 205884 4th Bn. Bedfords. I have no information of a CCs in Martinsart, and as I am not familiar with the area I would not know what locations are around it. Can you be more specific?

kerrychris Posted 24 April , 2006 Share Posted 24 April , 2006 Tom, Would you do a search for John Bardgett of the 11th Battalion, Border Regiment please if you are still doing look-ups. Anything you have would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregs_yorkley Posted 24 April , 2006 Share Posted 24 April , 2006 Hi Tom, Sorry only just got back to this. I'm convinced now that either William Robert Jones didn't die in the war, or the family have been sent the wrong medal! Are you able to search SDGW without a regiment? If so I have an address for him in 1913 - 26 Incline Row, Ton-Pentre, although this is on his marriage certificate so may not have been where he was living when he enlisted. I think he was born in Treherbert, but again when looking for addresses there are a number of villages that all run into one another in that valley, so anything for Treherbert, Gelli, Pentre, Ton-Pentre, Pandy, or Porth might well be him. I guess he would have enlisted in any of these places, or Pontypridd. Thanks for your time on this one. Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chunkeroo Posted 24 April , 2006 Share Posted 24 April , 2006 I exaggerate - there's only three: Private William BISHOP Worcestershire Regiment Private Thomas A MOBBERLY Gloucestershire Regiment 2/AM Walter J POWELL Royal Flying Corps Nothing on SDGW or CWGC, or in the local press: except Bishop for whom there seem to be two contenders, neither with any connection to the town that I can see. Nothing comes up on the 1901 census that helps as far as I can see. I think they might be men who left the forces and died of wounds or flu or something.... Apart from these and Stanley-Baker, I have something on all of the 71 others!! Any advice / help gratefully received... Simon Hi Simon Had a quick look for Thomas Mobberly on 1901 census. I found two Thomas Mobberley's (enumerator may have mis-spelt the name). Thomas age 4 born Stamber Mill, Worcestershire living in Lye. Also Thomas Mobberley age 15 born in Lye living in Lye. Is this any help? Clare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isadore Posted 28 April , 2006 Share Posted 28 April , 2006 Hi Tom, Could you do a look up for me in Irelands Memorial Records of Patrick Ward, 7180, Cheshire Regiment 2nd Btn. I have this record from it: Ward, Patrick Reg. No. 7180 Rank Staff Serjeant Cheshire Regiment 2nd. Batt. Died East Africa December 28 1917. Born Jordanstown Enfield Meath. Last year the Meath Chronicle printed a list of Co. Meath Soldiers who died in the Great War, they had this record for Patrick Ward: Ward, Patrick Rank Warrant Officer Sub Conductor of supply and transport promoted to Officers commissioned on deathbed. Indian Army died from Blackwater fever Sindi German East Africa 23 December 1917 Decoration M.C. Mentioned in despatches. Born Meath I was wondering if this record was also from IMR, they look like the same man? Many thanks Isadore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 28 April , 2006 Author Share Posted 28 April , 2006 IMR is as you have found. The extra info in not mentioned. SDGW says he enlisted in Birkenhead in Cheshire while he lwas living in Clare Kings Co(sic) Maybe they mean Clara. It also says he 'died' as opposed to KIA or DOW. HIS MC, if there was one is not mentioned in SDGW. CWGC says; WARD, PATRICK Initials: P Nationality: United Kingdom Rank: Staff Serjeant Regiment: Cheshire Regiment Unit Text: 2nd Bn. Date of Death: 28/12/1917 Service No: 7180 Awards: MSM Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead Grave/Memorial Reference: 6. A. 10. Cemetery: DAR ES SALAAM WAR CEMETERY Tom.
