Its for my grandsons school project but also for my own interest. have attached a picture hope its come out all right!. He was in the 3rd 10th london regiment. date on the paperwork is 14th may 1915 for his medical ? but other paperwork shows 1st Northampton Regt 24-4-1919 on his discharge documents. some other documents show he was in Egypt and Solonica and back to Egypt. any help would be great thanks |

10th London
Looks like 10th London Regt to me.

See your other thread. Not unusual for a man to serve in more than one regiment- for example if wounded- after recovery he might be returned to any unit short of men. If commissioned he also would go to a different unit. Regards, Paul.

10TH London Regt for sure dating from 1910-14. the Imperial service badge dates before the 3rd/10th London battalion was raised so he appears to have been a pre-war territorial when the 10th had only one battalion.

many thanks
many thanks to you and the other posters,
I am helping my grandson piece together a small folder for his presentation for school, he is so made up that he has a relative who served during the First world war and we have some history. I can reuse the material for my other grandchildren when they cover the first world war at school also. I am also so proud he served and came home. many thanks to you all regards trevor |
