bigjarofwasps Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 Hi Guys, Can anyone tell me which regimental numbers relate to which battalions of the RWF during WW1. Not sure whether this topic has been covered before, seems to ring a bell, but I have been unable to find it, but having said that have been away for a while and am still getting my head round the new format, so please forgive me if you find it straight away. Gordon.

Graham Stewart Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 Apart from the T.F. numbering you've just mentioned introduced in 1917, I don't think anything else about regimental numbering appears in the GMIC. However RWF numbering is covered quite extensively in this booklet;- "Regimental and Army Numbers of the British Line Infantry Soldier from AD.1800 to 2008", written by David Langley and myself. I believe it's now going into it's fourth reprint, but don't ask me where a copy can be obtained from as David handled all of the sales, since I now live and work in Saudi.

Thanks for the tip Graham, will certainly try and track a copy down!!!
