Information relating to my Grandad

Postby sare » Wed Jan 25, 2012 10:40 pm

Hi All,

I am trying to trace any information I can on my grandad, Reginald Percy Humphries, Regtl.no: 5246149 Worcestershire Regiment. He joined the 2nd Battalion, Dover in 1924 so I am lead to believe. His date of birth on records is a little dubious as I understand that he altered it on forms to join at an earlier age....???. could be 03.06.06, 03.08.07, 03.07.07.

I am interested to track his service, if anyone could help or give me a suggestion on how to trace where he was/movements. I believe he served in India and Shanghi but would like to know for sure.

Any help much appreciated

Many Thanks

Sarah

Hello Sarah,
Welcome to Louis Scully's website. To save me a lot of typing, if you look at the Forum section titled "Regimental Numbers 1880 - 1921". Then find the posting titled "J. Lamonte" , you will find a route you can take that will reveal all you want to know.
Regards Mike

Thanks Mike, I have read the post and it has been of great help. I will follow the said route to gain the information I require. I am shocked on how these books where found but very glad that someone saw the great value in them.
Thanks again Mike
