3rd and 5th alBattlion Coldstream Guards 1914-18

[Auntie San]

Hello Roots Chatters,

Hoping you can help me out here, trying to find a photo of my mother-in-laws father, having been around the family and turning up nothing, it has been said that there was a regimental photo (the whereabouts now unknown)  I have been on to the Coldstream Guards museum, with no success, So I just wondered if I might be lucky with you guys.

My guardsmans name is James Goodwin No 20524 he was with the 5th Batt. and spent a very short time in the 3rd batt. in 1917.He was posted with the 5th again until his discharge in 1918

I have the service records but if anyone out there has a photo that I can show my mother-in-law so she can identify him, I would be really grateful.

best wishes

Auntie San

Hi Manmack,

Thanks for the tip, I logged on to the Great War Forum, Coldstreamer picked up my post. He was a great help, lots of info but no picture, never mind the info he gave me was of more valuable than a picture.
Thanks for pointing in that direction.


I see that you do the Pals, my grandfather Micheal Moore was in the Liverpool Pals, in fact we think he is on one of the photos in Graham Maddocks book, can't be certain but it does look like him to us, any idea's how we would get a copy of the photo.

Thanks

corporal michael moore
19th battalion
liverpool regt[pals]

later transferred to the labour corps as corporal 374648
he was either wounded or no longer fit for front line duty,the transfer probably saved his life,because most of his mates were killed or died of wounds
