World War One / Edwin John Southam
« on: Monday 21 June 21 21:39 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I am looking for some help in deciphering Edwin John Southam's WW1 service.
Edwin joined the Queens Own Oxford Hussars on 24 Feb 1914. He was later transferred to the Oxford & Bucks Light Infantry (date unknown) and later the 5th Battalion Royal Berkshire Regiment (again, date unknown) where he finished his service as a Lance Corporal.
His dates of service (all of which were in France) are as follows:
20/08/14 - 24/12/14
18/12/17 - 24/01/18
07/08/18 - 25/01/19
I was wondering if it is possible to discern which Regiment he was serving with during these times, and where he may have been posted/which battles he may have been a part of.
Any information is greatly appreciated.
