What Regiments for these chaps

[Mike_E]

Following on from a previous post about regimental badges, I'm trying to find the regiments for the remaining men listed on the Warmley memorial in (south) Gloucestershire |help|. I've done lots of searching on the CWGC site, but some entries have little info to indicate where a chap came from, so can't make a direct link to any of these. Anyone got other sites I can search?
I think what the local society is trying to do is a good thing, and I'm happy to help in any way I can, even if that means getting you guys to help too :D

Anyone got other sites I can search?

"Soldiers Died in the Great War" is available in many CROs, reference libraries etc and is also online.

I'll start things rolling for you Mike!

Ralph Kilmaster - not a common surname, only one pops up on CWGC
http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_details.aspx?casualty=798242

I suspect this is him, maybe he preferred Ralph to Albert?
A search of the birth indexes would hopefully confirm his second name.

I'll pick another easy one

Thank you thank you to all my little helpers. |hug|

I've also had a result from the CWGC today, they are sending me scans of the regimental badges for the chaps listed on the memorial to.

Looks like the folks down in Warmley are going to be able to get the tribute to their men as they hoped. I'm just acting as a middle man through transcribing a couple of war memorials, now I seem to be the point of contact for a lady in South Glos who I'm happy to help.
