World War Two / Re: Query: London Gazette
« on: Wednesday 28 January 26 09:34 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you for all the information that you have forwarded to me. It has certainly given me a very full picture of what happened.

My posting only came about from spotting the London Gazette entry when updating my records, having decided to take out another sub to Ancestry.

Was it usual to change from army to RAF?

I just came across the entry, so don't know to what it refers.

It is an entry in the London Gazette , page 2763, 23 June 1942

2 March 1942
656272 Robert Andrew Whitmore (123047)

I know that 123047 is the service number. He died 9 Jul 1943

Interestingly, on the 1939 listing he is described as "Army Private Royal Warwickshire 5114253)

Could the entry in the Gazette be a record of his changing forces?

As mentioned in my original posting, I have no experience of military records.

World War Two / Query: London Gazette

I have located (via Ancestry) an entry in the London Gazette - World War 11 Military Notices 1939-1945.

Am I able to find any further information beyond what is listed on that entry?

I have no experience of searching military records, so any guidance would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I got that message earlier but obviously cleared now because I read your post!

Suggest it may be the date of the amendment.

I just checked my mother's entry.  She was single in 1939, but her married name has been recorded later, along with the date of the marriage.

The shadows under the eyes are very similar too.

The famous band is the Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band (not Raistrick)

I have 16 generations. No-one famous, but pretty sure it's accurate.
