World War One / Re: Machine Gun Corps Help please
« on: Saturday 02 March 24 21:42 GMT (UK)  »
Under Reason for Discharge could it say something like "Para[graph] 302 [clause] xvi KR [Kings Regulations] Sick" and perhaps such a regulation says two legs are needed? or loss of one is reason to be discharged?

Montgomeryshire / Re: Meifod Main Independent Chapel Records?
« on: Tuesday 29 August 23 17:29 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I have a copy of Parish of Meifod Main Independant Chapel, Baptisms but the surname Taylor does not appear in any of the listings by: Childs surname, Mother's maiden name or Fathers surname. I've looked at dates of all Mary Jones baptisms but none match.
Regards,
Jonathan

Hi.
With a hallmark you should be able to find out who made it which may help.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Unknown Gent and help please Emberson Photographer
« on: Tuesday 08 February 22 20:39 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks Carol and Jim, I don't know who this is, and given the 1890s date suggested don't have anybody to link it to in London or that area prior to WW1.
Thanks again.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Unknown Gent and help please Emberson Photographer

Hi,
Found these two photos in a box from N.Wales but seem to be taken around or in London. Any help regarding date or anything else appreciated. Nothing on the back of the 2nd photo, just a partial studio logo on the surround.
Thanks,
Jon

The Common Room / Re: Interchangeable Name for Martha

Hi,
I came across a mention of a 'Jim and Pattie' who  turned out to be 'Richard James (Jim) who married Martha Margaret (Pattie)'.

World War One / Re: Help on finding out where a RASC Regiment served in WWI
« on: Sunday 14 November 21 12:15 GMT (UK)  »
Hi again,
I see FindMyPast lists him https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=GBM%2FMCI%2F0995509but doesn't add much other than:
Gives his rank as Staff Sergeant

Provides this link to his medal index card http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/Details?uri=D1981982

I see that Ancestry transcriptions for at least one other ASC soldier gives "WO 329" as "Company" so this would seem to be an error.

Hi,
i put WO 329 into Google and it took me here https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/browse/r/h/C14533 are you sure its his Company Number?

Also the Long, Long Trail mentions the T4 prefix https://www.longlongtrail.co.uk/soldiers/a-soldiers-life-1914-1918/letter-prefixes-to-british-soldiers-numbers-in-the-first-world-war/

Hi,
Horse Transport Companys (HT Coy)  "included farriers, saddlers and wheelers as well as transport men" [Butcher, The Journal of the Western Front Association, 2014] . HT training was carried out in depots in Aldershot, Bradford and Woolwich [M. Young, Book:Army Service Corps 1902 - 1918, 2012] and the Enlistment Report page of an individual should show if he trained at Woolwich.

Foe example:

ARMY SERVICE CORPS      ATTESTED   Wheeler   26.11.1915
Joined at   WOOLWICH   On      27.11.1915

That should explain why 'Woolwich', Do you know what Company he was in and if it was assigned to a Divisional Supply Chain?

I think during WW1 it was ASC, the R came later.
