Hi James,

I dont know if you can help but as this is about the 10th London Regiment i thought i'd ask.

Basically whilst working on my family tree i have come across my Great Great Grandfather, Walter John Dixie, who apparently was  a casualty of WW1.

On looking into it a bit further i have this link: http://twgpp.org/inf....php?id=3168245

On there it says that Walter Dixie was part of 26th Supernumerary Coy. 10th Bn, London Regiment however i have no other information on him and wondered if you have him in any of your research?

I would be very grateful for your help if you can or anyone else who may be able to help me.

Kind Regards

Mike

I am looking for information about the 2nd Battalion 10th London regiment especially anything to do with my grandfather - Cpl John George Dearing no. 420521 who served with the 2/10th from 8 Aug 1914 until Sep 1917 when he was wounded at Ypes and then reassigned to the Labour Corp 589521 until he was discharged 19 Dec 1918 sick para392 xvi. (no longer physically fit to serve). I have his medal card and war badge record but have had no luck in finding his service record or 'pension' record and can only assume that it was one of those destroyed by fire.  I have found the Pathe news film of the 10th marching through Hackney and at their Headquarters at Mare Street as well as the battalion's War Diary.  However my father is convinced that there are regimental photographs in some archive somewhere but I have not had any luck tracing them.  I am hoping that perhaps there is a little more information out there that I can pass onto my father as he did not have the opportunity to speak to his father about his military service. Thanks
