You've probably seen this but it would cover 1921

Hi Lizzie, yes I have, had had it all copied and sent to me, but sadly it doesn't explain why he (apparently) missed the 1921 census! As I said before, he's on the electoral rolls for Bath in that year and in Nov was in a pageant at the Albert Hall, but I've got no other information for 1921 at all.

Hi there, he performed as Charles Lascelles -- yes, I've tried that too!

Congratulations Daisy and thanks to all three of you for looking! The boarding house management evidently asked each boarder to fill in their own details, so Charlie wrote his own entry. This is his signature from 1915 in his service record (TNA WO 339/3520). It's obviously the same hand.

Now I just need to find him in 1921!

I am frustrated by the non-presence of Edwin Charles Griffith Lascelles (b. 1890) in BOTH these censuses! I suspect I'll just have to accept this, but if anyone can help, it is the wizards of RF!

This is particularly annoying for 1911 (census taken 2 April). He was attending the Academy for Dramatic Art (later RADA) in London and appeared in a production on 7 April. This performance counted as an examination, so it seems unlikely he'd have left the country immediately before (he got a merit award for his performance).

In 1921 he's listed as Edwin in the electoral roll for Weston Park, Bath, with his parents. (He much preferred to be known as Charles, which sometimes even appears in official records.) I have no other records of him at all in that year but in 1922 he was back on stage again. However, I can't find him travelling overseas.

Any thoughts, anyone?

I am aware of the Brittain case, which has of course been much discussed. My original focus was on those officers who were court martialled or faced a civil court for 'indecency'. As my research has progressed I have explored some cases where an individual was under suspicion, but it was decided not to prosecute; and some men who subsequently wrote about their homosexuality. Edward Brittain would fit into the first of these categories, so I will consider including it. I am hesitant, though, about including him, as I wouldn't want the research to appear to be merely retracing established material, rather than uncovering hitherto unknown stories.

I found Violet and Serge (transcribed as George) on the 1921 census in London. he was Russian and she was b St Johns Wood c1893

Some details about her https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/White-67795
Hi Mabel, I've just been looking through the 1921 census and couldn't find this entry. Is she listed under Violet? I can't find any entry for Kazarine, with or without the 'de'. What am I doing wrong?

If everyone just sends PMs, they would not know whether someone else has already sent the same information. Perhaps to post "researched xxx, PM sent" (or similar) on this thread would avoid duplication of effort.
Thank you for this suggestion, which should be adopted.
I reiterate that I am not looking for suggestions of publicly available resources on these men's lives such as FindMyPast or Ancestry, or in a few cases Wikipedia, but any diaries or letters known to Forum members which might relate to these 44 men's lives, particularly while they were serving as officers. I have found a few such examples myself, but would very much like to have others suggested. If you know of an officer who served in the battalions mentioned who left a diary or letters, please let me know. I'm very happy to check out these resources myself.
