Warwickshire Regt
« on: Tuesday 28 March 06 14:30 BST (UK) »
I have a medal record for Thomas Ford/e who was in the Warwickwshire Regt as a private. He was in from 1901-17, left because he was wounded.  He was also in the Labour Corps for that reason.  I am hoping that this is my grandfather because the dates all fit in with the details we have.  I'm just wanting to verify this before I attempt to get to Kew for his full record.
Does anybody have any information at all that may verify this.  He was born around 1873 in Ireland.

Sorry to seem ignorant Mack, but whereabouts do I find Terry Carter, or the great war forum?  I've looked but can't see anything. That would be a real help if I could find it!!

Hi Mack or Annie

I've tried to PM Terry Carter, but he hasn't replied.  I also posted a thread on the Great War Forum, no luck.  Any ideas?
