Hi SANDRA,
Thank You for your information. Did Reg. fight at Passchendale?
I'm not sure where you are related to the HYDE family. Could you please confirm and say if you have a 'Tree' giving genealogical info for previous years, thanks.

Pauline posted the info from CWGC and also census info - We were not quite sure what exactly you wanted but both do volunteer research - I was just following Pauline's good lead - sorry not related.

UK, WWI Service Medal and Award Rolls, 1914-1920 - Leonard C R Hyde 1914 - 1920 - Household Cavalry and Cavalry of the Line 230292 - Corps of Hussars. Q.O.D. Yeo - Previous Units: Dor Yeo. Pte. 930
Granted the Victory Medal and british War Medal.
Disem 24 June 1919
Looks as if he probably died after discharge from the army - perhaps as a result of illness or wounds ???

Of the 3 Queens Own Dorset Yeomanry units only 1/1st served outside UK and that was at Gallipoli and in Egypt and Palestine so Passchendaele does not look right unless he was serving with some other unit that is not reflected in his medal roll record or elsewhere. His record does not have the 1914/15 Star which units at Gallipoli earned so it looks as if he joined after the end of 1915.
Technically he was still committed to the army when he died in November 19. He was disembodied in Jun (ie back in civilian life) but,as was normal, placed on the Class Z reserve which remained in effect until 1920.

Looking at records of men in the 1/1 Dorset Yeomanry with this man who has a number close to yours gives movements during the war.
-
No entry on the Corps of Hussars 1914/15 Roll for this man. Mistake??

There are a number of 1/1st. Dorset Yeomanry with just the BW & V medals.
Although a bit of a murky area (for me anyway) could some men have elected not to serve overseas which was their right as TF even though this man enlisted Aug.-Sept. 1914 according to his number.
If this is the case he wouldn't have gone overseas until at least Jan. 1916 when the new amended Military Act was introduced.
