KOSB
« on: Thursday 28 December 23 11:30 GMT (UK) »
Good Day..

My GGrandfather and his brother served in the 1st and 2nd Btn KOSB respectively..in WW1

Does anyone have any photos of the Btns, during this time ? Also my Ggrandfather was gassed at the Somme, is there casualty lists anywhere other than his SWB page.

William Watt, no. 18822. private, 1st Btn KOSB  enlisted  05/04/1915. Discharged   01/10/1916 due to sickness.

James Watt  no. 11338,  Private,  2nd Btn. KOSB.. think he joined around 1912, he was oversees with BEF from 1914-1919. Prisoner of war.

Thanks

Findmypast has the casualty lists as does the British newspaper archive.
Both pay to view unfortunately but you can view 3 pages on the British newspaper archive FOC.
If you give names & dates & service number I'm sure one of our regulars will be able to help.
