Rifle Brigade Rifleman James Perkins S7725
« on: Sunday 24 October 10 18:14 BST (UK) »
I'm researching Rifleman James Perkins S7725, enlisted (under age!) Nottingham 2/1/1914, landed in France 21/5/1915, Discharged Winchester due to Gunshot wounds 30/3/1917.
I'm trying to establish which Battalion he was in, I think I've narrowed it down to 7th (service) 8th (service) and 9th (service). Then I'd like to find out what actions he would likely have been involved in.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, pm8178
