My granddad joined the 1st battalion Dec 1916 but at some time between then and Nov 1917 he transferred to the 3rd battalion. Anyone have knowledge of when this might have been? Was there a specific draft between the battalions?
I have searched the war diaries to see if there is any mention of such a draft and apart form 14 Jul 1917 when 'draft of 193 ORs joined the (3rd) Bn' , I cant find anything which might be it.
Would be very grateful for any help from anyone more knowledgably about the Worcestershires. Trying to track granddad service and obviously this change of battalion has thrown me. Many thanks,
