keri.stevenson Posted 8 March , 2008 Share Posted 8 March , 2008 Hello! I am just wondering if the regimental number of a soldier would have changed if he was transferred from the 13th Bn. Royal Irish Rifles to the 12th Bn? Also I am looking for any more information on Private Alexander (A.) Stevenson of the 13th Royal Irish Rifles Here is what I know... Private/Rifleman Alexander Stevenson 13th Bn Royal Irish Rifles Regiment No. 13/19854 Enlistment: September 17th, 1914 in Comber, Co Down Discharge: March 29th, 1919 Class Z (Army Reserve) Awarded the Military Medal as per the History of the 36th Ulster Division (cannot locate MIC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollydot Posted 9 March , 2008 Share Posted 9 March , 2008 As far as I know they kept their own number but the prefix changed e.g. 15/11748 became 2/11748 when my GGrandfather transferred for a period from the 15th to the 2nd btn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivor Anderson Posted 14 September , 2021 Share Posted 14 September , 2021 Nicely presented! Brave men who survived an intense life changing experience in WW1 and hopefully the 1918 flu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
