Identity of Regt ?
« on: Friday 01 March 24 21:50 GMT (UK) »
The Family have this Photo of Henry Simpson but they didn't know What Regt He was in.

Can the Cap Badge be identified?

I'm hoping it's Pte 5333 /202419 Henry Simpson of 2/4th King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry

I would say it is very similar in shape and outline to The Duke of Wellington's Regiment (West Riding).

The Full Story is - we have Victory Medal for Pte 202419 Henry Simpson of 2/4th KOYLI
enlisted Pontefract 9 Dec1915  Discharged 6 November 1919   
We are trying to find Ancestry Descendants based only on that information
Medal Card shows he was awarded Silver War Badge aged 30 on Discharged Wounded Badge Number B332643
But only Ancestry Tree had this Suitable Henry with this Photo but no Army Records information to confirm Regt.
Which now doesn't fit. So perhaps not him.

His full service medical record is hidden on Find my Past.
To find it you need to only input his service Number 202419(Nothing Else) on the Military records Search Page.This will give 124 results scroll down to page 6 he is on there. I have posted the View Page you can view original record
He was shot in the upper leg in France. He gave his next of kin as his Sister Aurelia.(no Surname)  of 47 Mill Lane ,Hanging Heaton, Batley.Nr Dewsbury.
Good Luck.

If you search the 1911 Census  the Family of Aurelia and Henry are mis-transcribed as SAMPSON Living at 52, Bromley Street ,Hanging Heaton ,Dewsbury.
