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

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

Hi Graham

Perhaps a forerunner of your NER training booklet, this one runs to 16 pages and includes some interesting photographs of training in 1915.

Thanks to you and Leigh for making this such an interesting thread on everything Royal Northumberland Fusiliers
