i got the DLI from the use of the tittle

"The Durham Light Infantry in 1914-1918 - The Long, Long Trail"

When I accessed a website which had info on the Field Survey Units

I bow down to your superior knowledge in this area the site "http://www.1914-1918.net/re_survey.htm" which was probably a little misleading in its redirect.

the court martial document was only partial and my relative was not the subject but only there when it happened so isnt mentioned in any detail. but the 1st image as 23rd field Co at the top right

I got this from findmypast

My sister found from an electoral roll of voters away from home that he was

"WW1 in 1918 and 1919 he was away from home with the  Field Survey Co Re"



Last name   Muir

hello

I know there are some real army experts on here and as hoping you can help.

looking for grandfather who we think may have been part of the DLI royal engineers Survey Coy 1917-18

Is name was James william muir (may have just used james muir)

The closest i have came up with is a medal card

for a james muir 184080 which provides no detail
part of a court marital record where he was present which had at the top  RE 23 Field Co

My GF was born in county durham  dec 1891

Any suggestions

regards

Hi seaweed I already asked

But the reply is that some of the records are imcomplete or lost

Yes they can give lots of detail, unless you are one of the unlucky ones (that's me)

Thanks for your reply anyway

The actual request was for something different, a kind poster is looking up a record for me about a pow camp and I was simply stating that I want a gerneral synopsis of what is in it as depending on the content I might buy it.

I could buy it but it might having nothing in it at all.

I know you could also pay the site to have a quick look for you again if it is 20 pages fair enough but if only 5 words then works out expensive

Unfortunately the description gives no clue to its content

Regards

hi

 that would be brilliant as long  as you are not going out of your way or costing you any money

thanks
