I've noted the name T.GARNETT on your copy, but no man of that name is listed as serving with either the 17th or 32nd Bn's, Northumberland Fusiliers in my edition - however a T.GARNETT was employed as a painter in the Loco Shops, York, who was subsequently killed in action with the 1/5th Bn, York & Lancaster Regiment(T.F.) on 26th April 1918 as 242218 Pte Thomas Garnett, who was born & enlisted in York City. Ironically this man had previously served as 32/556 Pte Thomas Garnett, 32nd(Res)Bn, Northumberland Fusiliers(NER) before transfer to the Y&L's.
Therefore I firmly believe you have Thomas Garnett's original copy.

Thanks Graham
I had not appreciated that. Thanks for the additional information. The NER magazines are a great source of additional information.
Kind regards

Wow, thank you Graham, it sounds like it must be the same man. I have a number of NER magazines from the same source. I must check to see if he appears on these too. A job for the Xmas hols.
Cheers
