I am beginning to think it would most likely be a regiment that recruited in Derbyshire maybe Buxton or that area.

Post 1916 it wouldn't matter where he enlisted he went where replacements were needed not just to a local battalion like a lot of lads did in 14/15

Ady
Lowe(Lower Gornall-Castleford)
Blackburn (Castleford)
Sidwell(Ledsham)
Fairburn(Hartshead)
Wood(Liversedge)
Tallon (Whittington Lancs/Hartshead West Yorkshire)

Researching all Great War soldiers from the Spen Valley of West Yorkshire Especially lads from the Cleckheaton Company of 1/4th West Riding Regiment.

Most deffo Duke of Boots  ;)
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.
