Hi Sarah,

Thanks for that. It was pure coincidence that I found this thread. I was actually searching for any more info on my grandfather's WW1 experiences using a well-known search engine 
Serendipity strikes again!

Hi Sussexman,

I love search engines, an understated tool for genealogy

We have a board for Military Research here for WW1 just follow this link and ask away.....just let us know names ages dates of births etc as much as you know and see what can be found.

I was able to locate my Great Grandfather battalion details recently from a fellow RootsChatter, this lead me to discover part of a War Diary where my GGrandfather was loading gas cells on early trucks which for WW1 it unusual as it was powered by horse power!!  In WW1 the major export to the front was hay for the horses

Hi Sarah,

Thanks for pointing me to the WW1 board. I know what you mean about horses and hay as my grandfather's battalion were mounted infantry. I have his spurs!

Regards,
Roger
