Peter,
WO Class 11 Edwin Ford, 7848, 2nd battalion is on the 2nd Battalion Worcester Cathedral Rolls, 12 august, 1914. He was a Sergt. at this time. He doesn't appear on the current Gheluvelt roll, though it hasn't been updated for a while. Do you know if he was excluded because of any particular reason? I believe he was transferred much later to the 3rd Battalion.
