I think the photos are: Unknown 01 . This is a Gunner in the Royal Field Artillery c WW1. Unknown 02. These are two Welsh Fusilier privates again c WW1. Unknown 03. This is a thirties photo as there is a radio aerial in the background and the man is a dispatch rider by the breeches. He appears to have a general service hat badge possibly Royal Engineers. Aye Malcolm

Saw your posting today regarding your trip to the Somme battlefields - very kind of you to share this with us. I too have a cousin whose death is recorded as having been on that date as well - Herbert Roy Hodgson was a very distant cousin (first cousin three times removed)- obviously none of us knew him - however his tombstone caught my eye one day and I was determined to find him. Which I did. I went on line and ordered his records from the DVA. He left the small farming community of Craighurst Ontario in May of 1916, landing in Britain - transferring to France later that summer - and reporting missing and presumed dead on 8 October 1916. His name is one of the many at the Vimy Memorial. A wonderful lady in England offered to take a photo of his name this past June, however the site was closed for some work being done for upkeep of the memorial. It must have been wonderful for you to be at the site - I imagine it would be quite moving. I thought of young cousin Herbert on the anniversary date of his death - think of him quite often, but especially on that date. 90 years ago - he was a mere 18 years of age. Dear cousin Herbert was not and will not be forgotten - it was through my search for his records that I was able to confirm the tie from his family to mine. Prior to that I was not 100% certain. For that, I also thank him. So, thanks for sharing your story with us Liz. Bye for now. Deborah - Midland, Ontario

Dear listers, some of you may have followed my posts last June/July when I was planning a trip to the Somme Battlefields. I was there to "find" my grandfather's grave, which I did at Regina Trench Cemetery, thanks to a tour guide who drove us there on a dirt track. My grandfather had died on October 8, 1916. I was humbled by the cemeteries I saw. Our B & B hosts at Mash Valley were wonderful and graciously made our stay most memorable. thanks to all of you who kept encouraging me to go. It was an adventure and not at all as I had expected... much better. Now I want to return someday Liz of Bc Canada

Dear listers: I am trying to find some biographical info about Private "F J Stacey' who apparently served in KOYLI and died Nov 8, 1918 His listing is on CWGC with burial at Caudry British Cemetery. I cannot access bio. info and do not know his next of kin or wife's name. I "think' this could be "our" Frank James Stacey born 1888 and now missing for us since his marriage to Maude Richards, 1915 at "S. Stoneham". Frank James Stacey was serving as a butler and stationed in Southampton in 1914. How likely is it that he might enlist/or eventually serve with a Yorkshire regiment? Can anyone help me with this? and give advice on where to go for online records? thanks Liz of BC Canada

I have copies of many letters written to the Canadian Immigration department in 1917. In these files were letters informing the Immigration branch that dependents of Canadian soldiers (and some single women) were granted permission to travel to the UK. If anyone thinks that their family member travelled to the UK to visit, please send me an email and I can check these letters for their names. I have confirmed that one lady travelled to be with her husband after he was blinded by shrapnel and was sent to St. Dunstan's in England to recover. Annette

Hello All, Just subscribed as I am looking for information on my husbands Great Grandfather Thomas Wilfred BOWKER who; the family tell me, died in the Great War. I have checked CWGC.org and there is no Thomas W (sadly) to make my job easier. There are two Thomas BOWKERS from Lancs, regiments, but I now wonder if this is just family myth as I think that he may have been too old to have been involved in the war, he had a 28 year old daughter by 1913. When his daughter Holley married he was living in Everton, Liverpool at 49 Louther Street and was an Engineer. Any help or advice greatly appreciated. Many thanks Julie

Peter RNAS = Royal Naval Air Service AM1C = Air Mechanic 1st Class Most, if not all, the surviving service records of RNAS personnel (and most other branches of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines, including the Royal Naval Division) are held at the Fleet Air Arm Museum, Yeovilton. See http://www.fleetairarm.com/pages/research/archivep1.htm for details of the records held and how to access them.

The Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) was the Royal Navy's equivalent of the Army's Royal Flying Corps (RFC). The RNAS and RFC were amalgamated on 1 Apr 1918 to form the Royal Air Force. The National Archives has a leaflet about RNAS, RFC and RAF Service Records at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/RdLeaflet.asp?sLeafletID=60 AMIC would probably be Air Mechanic 1st Class. For example, see W H P Kerman of the RNAS who died in 1916 at http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=2905445 Forrest -- Forrest Anderson, Edinburgh, Scotland.
