World War One / Father - Where did he serve in WW 1
« on: Tuesday 03 November 09 20:59 GMT (UK) »
I have just joined the Forum and hope that somebody can help me. I am trying to find out where my father served during WW 1.
My father never really told us a lot about his service but I understand that he went France ( I think ) when he was about 15/16 years of age, as many did. He was initially with the 6th Liverpool Rifles and joined at Warwick Street Barracks, Liverpool. Some time during his service he joined the Royal Horse Artillery.
His regimental No: was - 686249. I know that he was awarded the 14/15 Star.
I am afraid that is as much as I know.
