Hi
My Great Uncle Arthur Clayton 267192 Thiepval Memorial was in the 25th (2nd Tyneside Irish) Northumberland Fusiliers, we found this VERY strange as he was from Gilberdyke, East Yorkshire -a very proud Yorkshire Man !!
It is as has been said, after so many "PALS" were killed together in 1915-1916 the Army decided to distribute the soldiers  to avoid whole streets of villages from being wiped out and also to put soldiers where they were needed.
I am just researching the 25th (TI) and think the book Tyneside Irish could prove worthwhile.
Regards

After a while, new recruits were allocated to battalions in need of reinforcements so there are many who are not in the obvious regiment.
