Hi Steve

May I offer my deep appreciation for the information you sent me on Frederick Harris and the 10th London Regiment.

Not only was it very informative but the extra pages were totally unexpected.

If I can do anything in return Family History wise please let me know.

Hi Sandy

I'm new 

I'm researching Frederic Robert Harris born 1895 killed Aug 10th 1915 at Suvla Bay, Gallipoli

He was a cousin of my grandfather, John Francis Xavier Harris

Do you have any information you could share with me?

Many thanks

HI Alison.

Welcome to Rootschat. 

I am afraid my husband grand-father Frederick is not the same
person as you list above.

Therefore I am sorry to say that I do not have any infomation
to help you.

Maybe another rootschatter could have.

It might be an idea to ask for help on the County board where
you know he was living or his relatives.

Best of luck.

Sandy

Hello Alison,

Assuming that he is Frederick Robert Harris, TF/3177 of 2/10th Bn Middlesex Regiment and from Hastings, then what survives of his service record is on Ancestry.

Have you found his medal index card and entries on CWGC and SDGW?

Hi  everyone.
This is my first post and I would be grateful if some one can help.
I am trying to find some information on my grandfathers service during WW1. All I know is that he served in the 10th london regiment and was posted in Gallipoli and Turkey, were he spent time guarding Turkish POW near Galata bridge. Born in1899, I believe he joined aged 16
I have tried to find his medal and service records on ancestry, but have had no luck with this.
A big thanks to any one that can help me.

 We wonder if anyone could help us find out any information about our great uncle Private Edward James Rudd, 422509, 10th Battalion, London Regiment.  He was born in Old Ford, East London in 1894 and died at the Battle of the Somme on 24th August 1918.  We have learnt that he was mentioned in despatches on 24th September 1917 for something that happened near St. Julien and we wondered if we could find out what he was mentioned in despataches for.  Any information would be appreciated. Thank you for your help. Regards Pat and Barbara

Hello Pat and Barbara and welcome to Rootschat.

Edward was with 2/10 Battalion and looking at his medal index card, went to France and Flanders with the original draft in February 1917.

The Long Long Trail has a brief synopsis of their movements within 58th (2/1 London) Division here:

I am assuming that you have his medal index card and the London Gazette entry. His service record does not appear to have survived (which is not unusual).

The next move, if you are interested in taking it further, would be to obtain the war diary. This is referenced under WO 95/3009, (175 Infantrey Brigade) at the National Archives. Fortunately it is available for download via Documents Online on the link below:

I don't have it myself, so can't look up the relevant dates. If you do go down this route, firstly make sure that you download all the files. I believe it comes in four parts. Secondly, I should be able to help you with the St Julien actions, as I have trench maps etc for the area. France 1918 is outside my scope, but there will be others here who can help.
