Armed Forces / 30thdiv;-37th.R.F.A.July 1918

A tough few querie's?  When this re- organisation was going on,where did it happen,in Britain or in France?
During this process was there home leave for the 'cadre'that were original's?
Would there be a War Diary kept in this period,and if so, where could I access it,on line?

Armed Forces / at my wit's end!

G'Day All!
Is there some way to find the wife of a W.W.1 soldier,his home address(,possibly through his allotment's to his family),during a certain period?
Why I ask is because I don't have birth location for two children born after my Mother,she REGISTERED in Waterford Ireland,not clear if BORN there. Fourth child,born Feb;1919 in Liverpool England,and full home address.
So,do I need a miracle or just an impossibility?

Armed Forces / killed in action+medal awards
« on: Friday 01 September 06 11:04 BST (UK)  »
G'Day All.
Funny query Iknow but,not having any info; on my paternal G'Dad,I'm reduced to looking at all I can think of!
So,would a k.i.a.soldier be "short"of any medal's on the m.i.c.s?
Such as the Victory Medal?
I have about a dozen to sort thru' and have,of course had no chance without some definite detail's.
"Family tales" are just as sparse,and again now't to hang your coat on!
       Goggy. ;) ;D

G'Day All.
Any help with this prob;greatly appreciated.Have looked at resources and other places with no luck.
My Soldier was not pensioned,nor wounded as far as I can tell,up to now.He did die early, but at home after his WW1 service.
