Lots of soldiers were transferred and moved from Battalion to Battalion as needs required, I have found some with a dozen different regimental numbers which makes it hard to trace them through the war diaries!<br /><br />Anyone who needs help, or just doesn't have time, to search for service records, medals or graves for their ancestors can contact me for research services<br />http://www.bradfordww1.co.uk/content/research<br /><br />KathrynAbout this bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14862141437943326400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2118632049570422994.post-89788032505065666442012-02-13T09:31:42.322+00:002012-02-13T09:31:42.322+00:00Another interesting aspect about the 19th and 20th...Another interesting aspect about the 19th and 20th (Reserve) Battalions is that these battalions were used to feed active front-line units. My own research into the 10th (Service) Battalion, West Yorkshire Regiment shows a number of 19/ and 20/prefix men killed with this battalion at Fricourt on 1 July 1916. Among those men killed and buried in Fricourt New Military Cemetery are: F. Bolton (19/178); J. N. Smith (19/135) and Joseph Harold Thompson (20/42). Pte. J. Turner (19/72), was originally buried in Hare Lane Cemetery, along with Joseph Nagle (18/1136), who had been transferred to 10th West Yorkshire Regiment from the 2nd Bradford Pals in the early 1916. The remains of these men were later exhumed and reburied in Dantzig Alley Cemetery (Mametz) after the war. Further details may be found on the CWGC Database re Fricourt New Military Cemetery and Hare Lane - and other Bradford men who had served and died with 10th West Yorkshire Regiment in the Great War. I hope this helps. Best Regards, Dave Stowe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
