David26 Posted 13 February , 2023 Share Posted 13 February , 2023 @Terry_Reeves Thank you. Goodness. One officer and 423 OR wounded presumably meant that the battalion was combat ineffective until sufficient replacements arrived? And that was whilst training. David.

Terry_Reeves Posted 13 February , 2023 Share Posted 13 February , 2023 (edited) That was just unit training, they had been in France for a while. I do wonder how accurate that figure is or the level of injury. TR Edited 13 February , 2023 by Terry_Reeves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David26 Posted 19 February , 2023 Share Posted 19 February , 2023 Thank you Dave. There is something rather odd about list H.A.5688 which you posted yesterday - it appears to be 3 months out of sequence. A mid-April 1917 H.A. list should start H.A.8xxx, but H.A.5688 appears twice very clearly, and the date of 18 April 1917 also appears twice. Might this have been an administrative error by the clerk? Initially I wondered if it could be that the number was meant to be H.A.8688, though now I wonder if it should actually be H.B.5688 which would fit into that number sequence very well and the list is of men who have been admitted to hospitals in the UK. Does anyone have any thoughts? David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure you’re correct with it being an admin error as the list does not fit in the sequence of HA numbers date wise but does slot in perfectly as HB5688. I’ll amend my post to indicate our thinking on the prefix. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevejm Posted 20 February , 2023 Share Posted 20 February , 2023 On 13/02/2023 at 23:21, Pat Atkins said: Terry, can I ask you a question about digitised WDs (I'm not very knowledgeable about the archiving process, etc.)? The pages for most of May 1915 are missing from the 2nd Royal Fusiliers WD and the period includes a relative's death: in your experience is it likely this, too, was an omission during digitisation? In which case, I'll have to get to Kew when I'm back in the UK sometime. I appreciate they might simply have been lost, but it would be nice to think they were recoverable. Cheers, Pat Pat, I found a copy of the WD for 2nd Battalion Royal Fusiliers available for download for Kindle on the Amazon USA website and the contents page indicates which pages are missing for May 1915. Hope this helps ( at least to confirm that pages are missing) Regards Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Atkins Posted 20 February , 2023 Share Posted 20 February , 2023 Thank you, that's very helpful - my father's uncle was killed at Gallipoli on 26th May (weirdly, the same day as his younger brother was killed in France). Curses. Cheers, Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kildaremark Posted 21 February , 2023 Share Posted 21 February , 2023 A great resource in this thread. Am I correct in saying that half of these casualties never make it to a casualty list as they were not "wounded" and therefore do not appear in the newspapers. Interesting to see at what point do they split these lists? If the British suffered 1.6 million wounded, could there be another 1.6 million sick??
