Pte Farrer born in Gaitsgill in Cumberland and enlisted in carlisle. These guys are not in De Ruvigneys roll of honour. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottsGreys Posted 20 February , 2004 Share Posted 20 February , 2004 Neil, Thanks for the suggestion--greatly appreciated. Actually, this was something I didn't know. Although I've been collecting WWI photos & paper for a while, I haven't really had the time to concentrate on research. My prior research experience has been primarily American Civil War, and I have have spent countless hours at the National Archives (luckily, I work nearby) researching ACW soldiers. I am now (hopefully) broadening my horizons and getting much more involved in pursuing my Great War interests. Anyway, NY State Form is filled out and ready for the mailbox.

BottsGreys Posted 3 March , 2004 Share Posted 3 March , 2004 Tom, If I could call on your good graces once again, could you do a SDGW check on: George Henry Dawson No. 245734 Gunner - RFA Thanks so much, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museumtom Posted 3 March , 2004 Author Share Posted 3 March , 2004 Sory Chris. Nothing on that number, there were two George Henrys Dawsons but none from the artillery, and there were other George Dawsons but from the RGA not the RFA. their numbers were not even close. Tom.

BottsGreys Posted 3 March , 2004 Share Posted 3 March , 2004 Tom, Thanks so much for checking. I was basing my request in this CWGC entry: Name: Dawson, George Henry Initials: G.H. Nationality: United Kingdom Rank: Gunner Regiment: Royal Field Artillery Age: 24 Date of Death: 22/01/1919 Service No: 245734 I see now that I inexplicably omitted his Date of Death. Would the fact that he died in January 1919 have left him out of SDGW? If so, I apologize for sending you on a wild goose chase. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

healdav Posted 15 March , 2004 Share Posted 15 March , 2004 Could you just keep an eye open for anyone born Luxembourg or similar that you come across. I'm trying to do an inventory of them (records are pretty awful) and for the US army I have little except a list of names, none of which seems to appear in any other records (mostly ABMC burial records).
