Lots of William Dance's........

Just two William Dance's attached to Worcestershire Regiments........is one of them yours?

WILLIAM T DANCE.........WORCESTERSHIRE REGIMENT....Reg No 34842

or

WILLIAM G DANCE........1/8th WORCESTERSHIRE REGIMENT...Reg No 2383

Providing your William is a William ? Dance and not a ? William Dance  :o one of the above has a chance of being your man............Regiments got absorbed within Regiments during the Great War

I'm no authority on army history (I know nought) but I have obtained grandfather's army records through the Boer War & Great War and by that research alone...you learn a lot!

Bryant

Researching names BRYANT (Camberwell), PASTERFIELD (Essex and all), RAY (Holborn/Islington areas back to Brentford), POWELL (Glouc & beyond?)
Fletcher (Glouc into Warwickshie into Lancs?), BUCKLEY (Chatham area), Watson (Chatham area).

Sue,

If you want any details on the Worcestshire Regiment you should approach 'The Worcestershire Regiment Museum Trust'.  Their site is rhq@wfr.army.mod.uk and the Hon Archivist is a Lt Col C P Love.

He was extremely helpful when I was tracing my grandfather who served in this regiment.  He answered every question I had and provided an amazing amount of detail.

I would definitely try here first or even visit the 'Worcestershire Regiment' site which has a fantastic amount of detail.  It will probably help you and stop you going off in all directions.

Dear Sue,

Your wish is my command.  The site is as follows:-

http://www.worcestershireregiment.com/wr.php?main+inc/welcome or the easy way round is just to enter worcestershire regiment into your browser and up it will come!

A very useful part is the Forum where all kinds of questions and answers are displayed.

Anyway, give it a try.

Wyndham
