Hi Listers, Can some kind soul tell me where to find some info on the whereabouts of the above battalion on the 6th May 1916. My grandfather Joseph Longmore (14794) enlisted 7-10-14 at Brierley Hill in Staffordshire. He was sent to (Fort Staddon ?) Plymouth with the 10th Batt. until 31-12-1914. From the 1-1-15 until 31-5-1915 he was in Tavistock and then to Harrogate on the 1-6-15. On the will he made just before going to France he gives his name and number and 8th batt of the South Staffs. he went to France on 3-9-15. He was wounded (I think by shrapnel) 6-5-1916 in the Knee and elbow. He was then shipped home 3-6-16 to hospital, It looks like Metropolitan but I'm not sure, perhaps one of you would know, and from there to Lichfield Military Hospital. He was then transferred to the 14th Training Reserve with a new number TR/6/13091 until his medical discharge on 13-12-1917. I am interested to find out what part of France he was in and what Battles (if any) did he take part in. Thank you all for taking the time to read this email, and I would be very grateful for any and all help. Talk to you soon, Bill
