In my aim to find out which Bn my great unclewas in.

I know he landed in France on December 1 1915, does anyione know if a whole Bn landed then or was he perhaps reinforcements?

Thanks

As far as I know no Worcester battalion landed on this date.
Kind regards,
Lars

My mistake, transposed date. His MIC says:

12.1.1915

Here are the dates of the Bns landing in France
1st 5 Nov 14
2nd 13 Aug 14
3rd 16 Aug 14
4th 20 Mar 16
1st Line 7th 31 Mar 15
2nd Line 7th 25 May 16
1st Line 8th 31 Mar 15
2nd Line 8th 25 Mar 16
10th 19 Jul 15
11th 21 Sep 15
14th 21 Jun 16

So it looks like he must have been a replacement for the 1st, 2nd or 3rd Bn

Thanks very much, at least it has narrowed it down a bit.
