Hi Jonathan,
Could you look to see if there is any reference for either Frank, Arthur, Albert or David Bailey all from the Norfolk Regiment ?
TIA, Bruce

Hi Jonothan
could you do a look up please for one of my lot. He is
Thomas George William Gall

Driver/Gunner
27th Brigade RFA
He deserted on the 16th Jan 1916. I haven't been able to find out anything about him after this date.
Many thanks
Mick

Hello, Jonathan
Please could you look up my Great Grandad. I know he went AWOL, I believe, when he was in France. Family rumour has it that he was in the Army but went AWOL to join the Navy. He ended up marrying my great grandmother whilst he was AWOL. And after a few weeks of married life joined back up with the Army.
His name was Sidney James Griffiths (although he was born Mottram).
Here's hoping. 
Kind Regards
Rachel

Hello, Jonathan
Thanks for looking. It doesn't feel right (the regiment) but I shall keep it in mind.
Just out of interest - do you have any Fairbairn/Fairburn/Fairbain? I collect all references to them if they appear in Staffordshire, Worcestershire or Warwickshire as there were only a few families in these areas.
Regards
Rachel

Thanks, Jonathan
Fairbairn is the only name I always check for. I would be wasting my time with the all Smiths, Mitchells, Southalls, etc. There are just too many of them.

Rachel

hi Jonothan
thanks for the look up. I've got a sneaky feeling he went to Ireland -that was where he was born and grew up, I'll get to go there one day and check.
Thanks again
Mick

I would be grateful for the details on Benjamin HART. He was "shot at dawn" for desertion, and I have some info, but would be interested in any details you have.
Very many thanks,
Chris
