Hi, many thanks for your reply.

The details come from his service record, one of the few that survived.
64052 L/Cpl Charles H Taylor
Unfortunately the date is obscured, I have attached a number of images from his record, he was back in the UK 16th May 1918.

My wife’s gt grandfather was wounded whilst serving with the above unit, the date was early May 1918.

Does any forum member have access to the unit diary
? Could you let me know where roughly he may have been when he stopped a bullet and returned home to recover from his wounds.

We are off to Flanders next week and it would be great to visit the approximate area.

Armed Forces / Re: Private John Richard Lyddiatt, Oxs & Bucks Light Infantry, 1909

Hi,

Many thanks for your replies, I have contacted Headington Quarry Holy Trinity and may drive up there over the Christmas period.

That was my worry that his records did not survive, it was worth the ask.

Armed Forces / Private John Richard Lyddiatt, Oxs & Bucks Light Infantry, 1909
« on: Sunday 10 December 23 17:00 GMT (UK)  »
I have discovered one of my great uncles died of pneumonia on 16th April 1909. He was 17 years old.

Private John Richard Lyddiatt, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry.

John died at Cowley Barracks, I presume from his age and location, he was doing his basic training?

I cannot find his burial location or indeed his service record, can anyone help please?

World War Two / WRNS service record help
« on: Thursday 27 July 23 21:22 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,
I wonder if someone could interpret a relative's WRNS service record please?

In particular what the following trade / rank were:

Wren (G) M
Wren (G) M H.G.R
Wren (S) (MQ) - would this be steward? but what would (MQ) be?

Pembroke III would be Mill Hill?
Minos, I believe is the Port of Lowestoft.
