Thanks Alan. Very likely re the NIH.

Perhaps you can merge the thread you started? Mine wasn’t intended to tread on any toes but to add some structure as it’s such a huge topic.

Intention was to edit this post long term to insert a summary and reference any relevant material e.g.

Evidence: picture of Pte. Edgar John Hinton who joined RWY in 1914 and was KIA 1918 wearing Wiltshire Regiment cap badge.

Conclusions: likely whole 1/1st (new and existing troops) rebadged to Wilts Regt.

as a quick summary to save reading through lots of posts. Hopefully interested members will find this helpful and those wanting further reading can look into the evidenced threads etc.

When I have a bit of time I’ll get round to editing the ones we have already into post #1.
