At Home Dad

Barney,

Dont forget 17361 Ward (13th Essex), he shot himself in a similar fashion a few days later (Jan 22nd)!

kind regards all

But guess what? The 13th (Service) Battalion (West Ham) Essex Regiment provides an example of Military Justice so see what you think.

Hello Barney, Hello All

Hopefully the book is long written now?

My great Grandfather was Joseph Cooper of Limehouse

aka 17958 Pte Cooper, 13th Bn (S) Essex Regiment, buried at Loos Cemetary,

killed by a trench mortar near Cit? Calonne 27 April 1916

I have a couple of photos, which appeared on this 'discovery' thread,

with the kind help of the guys over on the Great War Forum.

Dont know if this'll help you in any way.

Or was your book published under the title 'War Hammers'?

Kind regards all

Hi Guys

Help! As you can see from the advertisement below I am writing a book on a Battalion of the Essex Regiment. It is a long story as to how it came about but suffice it to say finishing it has become an obsession! I would be grateful if any members have any information about this unit. I have done the usual - Museums, other books, the PRO, National Newspaper Library, Council records etc............
