Hi Ian,
A lot of my lists come from visits to kew and photographing soldiers records from the microfiche, but with a lot of the records now being on ancestry you can find them there. They do not appear in any order or there is no section with them on, they just appear randomly in a record.

As per Andy's reply really, all the lists I've added were casualty lists being reused by the Hamilton Record Office to record SWB details on the reverse, these were at NA, Kew.  First time I'd seen anything other than 'official' forms and if it hadn't been for Andy posting this thread I probably wouldn't have paid too much attention to them.

In hindsight there is a tremendous amount of information on them, especially for those researching the 'Corps' where Medal Rolls etc. don't tend to record the units very well.

I haven't forgotten you and I'll sort out the A.O.C. men for you very shortly. Can you PM me an email address?

List H.B. 7284, August 1917


Warwick, Regular & Territorial Office

HAMM, R., #10329, 6th Royal Berkshire
MANN, B., #36397, 6th Royal Berkshire
SAVILLE, H.J., #20287, 8th Gloucesters


Sorry but am not sure of the value of all this - Hamm was reported wounded in a casualty list published in the Reading Mercury of 5/8/16 along with several hundred other names and Mann in the Berkshire Chronicle of 7/9/17 If anyone was really interested I could give you around 10,000 names from casualty lists just for the Royal Berks and I have done less than half so far - all from local papers.

I just cannot see the point of publishing three names from a list whose source is difficult to ascertain when anyone can go into almost any public library and read newspapers from the period and compile lists at the rate of several hundred an hour.

Admittance lists for hospitals might be useful but I would rather be told where the list is kept and its reference

John,
Valid opinions all; however I would encourage the Pals to continue with these posts, but include the references to the sources as well.
Cheers,
Mark

John,
In many of these lists it gives the nature of the injury, i.e. Gun shot wound, what illness, where they went to as in hospital, recuperation hospital, battalion etc. etc., and in my experience the newspapers can be wildy inaccurate. To date these lists have assisted several pals with interests in certain units and pals with their databases.

Hi I have just Started looking into my family tree and have found my Great Grandfather Percy Ledner was in the great war. I know he was sent back home after being wounded, (may have been gased) I see he is on this casulty list as being in the 9th East surreys. If you have any other information on him I would be most greatful. I have a painting of him apparently done whilst in hospital by another soldier in there. I wonder if he is on that list too. smile.gif
