A lost Worcesters private of WW1

Postby Harrison » Thu May 22, 2014 9:38 am

Can anyone help?

I'm trying to trace the service of a relative: John Francis ENRIGHT (DoB 18/10/1897) of West GriMstead, Nr Salisbury, Wiltshire (not West GriNstead, Sussex)

I cannot find a MIC card, so he may not have served abroad. The Active Service Roll of West Grimstead Methodist chapel says that he was serving with the Worcesters. Unhelpfully, the Roll at the CofE church says he was with the Royal Garrison Artillery (and he was neither Methodist or CofE so I can't put more faith in one or the other!), and there is also a picture of him wearing what appears to be a Royal Defence Corps uniform.

I suspect that he may have been in all these units at various points, which is echoed in the service records of others.

If anyone can point me in the direction of more information, I'd be grateful

Jim
