I am researching Private Frank Rastall who is listed on Broadway's War Memorial. Frank was born and lived in Broadway, Worcestershire, the youngest son of a Broadway family.
Frank enlisted with the 1/8th Battalion in Evesham and served with the 1/8th Battalion of the Worcesters. I have a copy of his medal card but it does not have any other information on it other than he received the Victory and British Medals.
Frank died of his wounds on 19 Oct 1918, presumably he was wounded during the battles of the Final Advances in Picardy.
Why would Frank have 2 regimental numbers and how can I find out when he enlisted?
Any help/advice gratefully received.
Many thanks.
