Henry Mosley 2nd Bn Duke of Wellington's
« on: Wednesday 29 April 09 18:34 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help me please?

I'm trying to find something about Henry Mosley who I believe served in the 2nd bn Duke of Wellington's regiment. His service number was (I think) 15445.

I know absolutely nothing else, not even an idea of dates etc!

But my Dad has come up with this information and I can find nothing about this Henry..

Many thanks to all who can help.

Martin

Just looked at Pensions on ancestry and there isnt one for him :(
However Service Records arent up to surname Mo.....yet so there is still a slight hope his survived the Blitz(30% did!)....Ill have a look through my records and ask a mate who specialises in West Riding Reg see what we can dig up
