Title: Kitchener Scouts-New Zealand soldier
Post by: belindy on Tuesday 27 December 11 05:08 GMT (UK)
Hi everyone,
I am looking for information regarding Kitchener Scouts. According to a family members WW1 records he served in the Kitchener Scouts for 2 years.

Does anyone know where I might find information about this?

Regards
Belinda

I'm hoping to verify if he did indeed serve with this regiment and maybe even his service records.

I looked at the nominal rolls for the KFS,,,,Cant see a George Isherwood,,,there is a George green,,but no info that would help to connect him to your man.
