World War One / Re: 9th battalion Northumberland Fusiliers
« on: Friday 20 January 12 09:32 GMT (UK) »
HI,
My Grand Uncle served in the 9th Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers. His name was Lieutenant Eric Bernard Lewis Piggott. Lt. Piggott was wounded 3 times (27-4-15, 6-7-16, and 16-4-18) during his service and was awarded the Military Cross for his actions. The MC award was gazetted on 16 September 1918. I would appreciate knowing whether your book may mention Lt. Piggott.
The records I have show that he was with the 9th Battalion overseas (France and Belgium) from 14-6-16 to 11-3-17 and then again from 12-11-17 to 30-4-18. Previously he served overseas (France and Belgium) with the 5th Battalion London Regiment from 4-11-14 to 9-5-15.
Thank you.
