is there anyway of finding when robert tisdale joined the worcesters
and what battalion he was in?


lydia his sister was rqms h d little's wife
also any more information about rqms h d little 7921 1st battalion would be most greatfuly receved i have posted a picture of him on the pictures section and know about his medals
but dont know much about him after the great war apart from joining the warwickshire regiment in abt1923
also not sure if he was promoted to rsm in the worcester regiment or the warwickshie regiment

According to his medal card

2230 Pte Robert Tisdale went to France on 1st April 1915.

He then joined the RAF as 14169. It doesn't say when, I only have
access to Ancestry online & they haven't got to the T's yet, so the
only way, would be a trip to KEW.

In the meantime there is a great section on this site abut Worc men in the RFC & RAF.

as for post war records you would have to contact the Veterans Services
There are fee's involved and they require proof of Kinship

Replace the * with forward slash.
