I believe these to be on Find my Past. Their terms and conditions do not allow look ups. Perhaps your library service has access or it might be worth paying for a few credits.

There is not a lot of information in this data set. I have the CD of Manchester Battalions which came free a few years ago with WDYTYA magazine.

The only J. REID is Pte. 19981 21Bn. E Co. Plat. 19. then a group photo. There is a J.A. REID also. No other information given besides a name.
SKINNER - Manchester/Newark, Notts
WILSON, MORRIS, LARKIN, CURLEY, McCLUSKEY, KELLY - Manchester
McDERMOTT - Roscommon, Ireland
BALLAM - Wigan/Manchester/Ashton
