WW1 info sought. Hirst/Rattigan/Foster
« on: Saturday 21 July 12 14:58 BST (UK) »
Hello everybody.

Are any of you good people able to access war records?
And if so, could you please help?
I'm looking for records on the following 3 people, Great-Grandfathers of mine.
If possible, actual hard copies.
Many thanks.

Harold Foster. 25665 Gunner, of the 175th Brigade, Royal Field Artillery.

John William Hirst. 3118 Private, of the 5th West Riding.

Martin Rattigan. 9184 Lance Corporal, of 1st West Riding.

All additional help/info would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, and best regards.

Foz.

Hiya Foz
I can see all 3 names listed in the WW1 records in Ancestry but I can't match the numbers do you know a birth year and where that might help.Also a lot of these records are badly damaged and are hard to read.
