World War One / Re: Medal Card Meaning - Help Please
« on: Friday 28 February 14 17:06 GMT (UK)  »
Hello!

 Sorry to 'hijack' this post. I too had a relative who was in Royal Engineers Z Special (Flamethrower) Company.
 Sadly he was KIA on 25th July 1918, aged 32.
His name was Private Samuel Latham 134869

I see that the person in question at the beginning of this post served in action that was could have been reported up to three months late. Its possible both my relative and the chap on this medal card actually served in the same action.
I have been on the national achive records but there is an I.T issue that wont let me view the diary for the time that my relative died.

can anyone help?
thankyou :)

Hello, Might be a long shot but I have a couple of relatives who died in ww1 that came from Hawick. They were:

Private Samuel Latham
 134869 Royal Engineers Z Special (Flamethrower) Company
 Died of Wounds 25th July 1918, aged 32.

and

Private William Latham
 358116 2/10th Liverpool (Scottish) Regiment
 Died from gas 24th June 1919, aged 31

I have been told there is abit about them in the Hawick newspapers from the time but have not been able to find this info on the net.
Please can anyone help with more info on these two lads?
Thankyou in advance.
