WW1 William Porter Edwards b 21.12.1894.
« on: Monday 05 November 18 14:34 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I'm looking for my husbands grandfather's WW1 service records.
William Porter Edwards b 21.12.1894.
Royal Warwickshire Regiment.
Reg no. 266721. Cpl.
I fear that the service records may have been lost in WW11 as the few sites I have been on show no one from the Royal Warwickshire
Many thanks.
Ann.

I don't know if you have this but your man was in the 2 1/7th. Batt. This is the Batt. he first went overseas with. He enlisted 16/11/15 so possibly under the Derby scheme.
Discharged 8/11/17 sickness.
He would originally have had a 5 digit number. In Jan. 1917 all men from Territorial Regts. were renumbered with a 6 digit number.

Thank you. Would the first 5 digits be the same and a new one added.
Sorry this is all new to me.

MaxD has corrected me in saying that your man was in the 2/7th. not 1/7th. as I put up.
I'll go & get a link to the correct diary.
