David Seymour Posted 20 January , 2008 Share Posted 20 January , 2008 Private Levi Sharples, Manchester Regiment, 49551. Can anyone help with this man's service record? Once again I am interested in whether or not he might have been an employee of the Associated Newspapers. Grateful as always for any help.

David Seymour Posted 22 January , 2008 Author Share Posted 22 January , 2008 Mack, Thanks for the suggestion - I'll make some posts there. Reggie, Most interested to hear of the Manchester City Battalions Book of Honour with the list of 121 men of the Associated Newspapers. I have a copy of the Associated Newspaers List of Members of the Manchester Office who have joined H M Forces since August 4th 1914. It lists 101 surnames plus initials. Does your list offer any first names? With best wishes, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benson Posted 23 January , 2008 Share Posted 23 January , 2008 David Sadly no just initials Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Seymour Posted 23 January , 2008 Author Share Posted 23 January , 2008 Thanks Dave. Initials alone are a serious problem with this sort of work, aren't they? Give me some imaginative first names every time!!! With best wishes, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
