I am searching for further information on my grandfather's service in WW1. His name is James Henry Cowsill. All I know so far is a mention of him in two books: >From A History of the East Lancashire Royal Engineers, compiled by Members of the Corps: (Jun 1916) At El Ferdan, Sergeant Cowsill commenced to try his hand as Company Sergeant Major. (Aug 1916) Unfortunately C.S.M. Cowsill went down with dysentery. For the work done while the Company was at Nieuport, C.S.M. Cowsill was awarded the Belgium Croix de Guerre. >From Manchester City Battalions of the 90th & 92nd Infantry Brigades: Roll of Honour of the Manchester Education Committee - List of Employees other than teachers serving with the Colours: Cowsill, Jas. M. - Royal Engineers. This is my first attempt to research a WW1 soldier, and I am very unfamiliar with researching military units. I know these two entries provide many clues, but I find it confusing sorting out Field Companies and Divisions. I can't see him in the London Gazette. Can anyone please offer me advice? Thank you. _________________________________________________________________ Find a local pizza place, music store, museum and moreĀ then map the best route!
