Good evening Tom I can not remember if I thanked you if not I apologise Mick MICK WINKLE On Fri, 15 Dec 2006 11:14:05 -0000 "Tom Tulloch-Marshall" <prosearch@btinternet.com> wrote:

Terry - no "battle" as such. Archibald Mansell was killed in action 25/11/14 and was the Battalion's only fatality that day. (They had a man kia on the 24th and another on the 28th). He is named on the Ploegsteert Memorial To The Missing, which points to him having died near the French / Belgian border near Armentiers. Unless someone has access to some detail of the battalion on that date you would have to use the relevant war diaries at TNA. regards - Tom Tulloch-Marshall WW1 Military Research website > http://www.btinternet.com/~prosearch/index.html

Mick - the CWGC database shows no entry against a search "Dunmall G WW1", so its fairly certain he didnt die in service during WW1 whilst serving with any branch of the forces. The online WW1 service medal records (Army & RFC) have one G Dunmall in the Royal West Kents, and a George W Dunmall in the Army Service Corps. "Losing" third and subsequent forenames for OR's is not at all unusual in records of the period, and with such an unusual surname you maybe have a good chance that the George W is your man. You have to start somewhere, so failing any other "family information" you should arange searches of the full medal records and the surviving service records at The National Archives. > http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/default.htm regards - Tom Tulloch-Marshall WW1 Military Research website > http://www.btinternet.com/~prosearch/index.html

ARCHIBALD MANSELL - died 1914 in the WWI. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Soldiers Died in the Great War Originally published in eighty volumes in 1921, this lists Army officers and men who died between 1914 and 1919. Now available on CD-ROM at The National Archives.

Gallantry medals, if any, may also be listed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------

To: Gordon Travis, Great War List Re: Manchester Regiment Hope you find the regiment. When you do (or even if you don't), check out my research on the 19th Manchesters, which inevitably brought me into contact with other parts of the regiment, and particularly the bibliography, on www.tonyholkham.co.uk/non_fiction_chance.htm.

I have downloaded his medal card which indicates: TRAVIS William, Manch Regt, Pte, Regt No.57060. Medals Victory and British, roll H/1/104B26, page5327. His discharge certificate shows he was called up 21 March 1917 assigned Training Reserve Battalion. Discharged 13 December 1919 from the Manchester Regt. (No battalion indicated). Living in Los Angeles makes it difficult for me to pop down to the National Archives myself to look up the pertinent medal rolls. I will be very grateful if someone going to the archives would look up the info and e-mail me at gordontravis@sbcglobal .net p.s. I recentlly obtained a newspaper clipping from the Oldham Chronicle dated September 12, 1918 listing the death of his brother Lance-corporal Henry Travis 1/7 Manchesters KIA 2 September 1918. It also states his brother William Travis, Manchester Regt, is a prisoner in Germany. Another brother, Robert, Kings Own Royal Lancs, has been on active service three years. p.p.s. As if that was not enough, William re-enlisted 15 December 1939 in the Royal Warwickshire Regt 12th OD (Overseas Defence) Battalion comprising WW1 verterans aged 31-51. Evacuated 17th June 1940 from St Malo France without a scatch only to be injured laying decoy fires aound Rotherham and Sheffield during the Blitz. <

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 10, 2006 Moses Hardy, 113, Veteran of World War I, Dies By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS JACKSON, Miss., Dec. 9 (AP) - Moses Hardy, believed to be the second-oldest man in the world and the last black United States veteran of World War I, died Thursday. He was 113. Evelyn Davis, 68, one of Mr. Hardy's eight children, said her father died at a nursing home in Aberdeen. He would have been 114 on Jan. 6. Robert Young, a senior consultant for gerontology for Guinness World Records, said that research by his group, National Public Radio and others had been unable to locate any other surviving black World War I veterans. Only 10 to 12 American veterans of that war remain, Mr. Young said. Mr. Hardy was sent to France and apparently saw some combat. Census records show that Mr. Hardy's father was born in the 1830s and that both his parents were slaves, Mr. Young said. Mr. Hardy had been No. 6 on Guinness's list of the world's oldest people. Elizabeth Bolden, 116, of Memphis, is believed to be the oldest person, Mr. Young said, while the oldest man on the list is Emiliano Mercado del Toro, 115, of Puerto Rico.
