lots of locals in there.
no numbers, but with care you could get them from the medal index cards, these men will have a theatre arrival date of 20/4/15 or 21/4/15, and most will have a regimental number prefixed by 7, like '7/1945' for example. Risk of error? = Yes the other territorial battalions of Northumberland Fusiliers will have the same arrival date, but the numbers might help eliminate them. |
Just found this thread. Great. Been looking for any mention of my grandfather Ralph Watson as we know very little about him except he may have been gassed but survived WW1 but died young, where? my grandmother later remarried. His medal is 7-809 and there is a Corp. R.Watson on your list
