The Gloucestershire Regiment WW1

[barefoot]

Thank You Alf and mmm45,

His name was Edwin John Packer from Bristol and his number was Pte 32197 he served in the 32nd division, after he was buried in the trench and went to hospital he was left behind so was transfered to the South Lancs regiment. He had J/1/103 and B12 medals.
I have had a look at the books and will see if anyone has any records first.

No, it's not just you... it is not the most user-friendly site for anyone unfamiliar with it.

All the best,

Hi Andy,
Give me a name!  I have some data on WWI casualties if it's Cheltenham.
Failing that, try the Soldiers of Gloucestershire Museum website.
