Hello Colin,
Thought that name might get your attention. I was actually trying to reply to David on his Harold Ruffle posting but the system wont let me. Please take note Mr. Scully. When I try to click "reply" it just chucks me out. I was going to ask you Colin to explain to David about Stacke's Regimental History. All he wants to know is in there including two fotos of the 4th Bn. taken 31st October 1916 on the Somme. It is a Forum so come on in. I know you must have seen Stacke because of your note about only 3 men wounded between Nov 16th and Dec 11th 1916. It is note "G" on page 207. One of those wounded men was your Great-grandfather Henry Dimmock. But I have some surprising news for you ! For all of the years I have been researching the Worcesters, the casualty figures never add up. The burials by the War Graves Commission often are nowhere near the figures for deaths in the War diaries. Betwen Nov 16 and Dec 11th 1916, ten men died of Wounds. Eight are buried in Grovetown Cemetery, including Henry. But 12 men were killed in Action ! Check some out, Hopkins 40399, Grist 39774, Clarke 40379, Duffy 39736, Boon 10896. I will give you the others if you want them, later.
Regards Mike.
