Hi All,

I am looking into one of my ancestors (above), and have a question. On the Soldiers Died cd, at the side of his number is a "12". On CWGC his number is simply 1954. What does the "12" indicate?.

William May, York & Lancaster Regiment. DOD 29/06/1918, Granezza British Cemetery.

hello, did your relative first enlist into the 12th y&l(sheffield city batt.) because it was disbanded in 1918 in the reorganization of the army.so the 12th could be his orginal unit

Enoch,

That i dont know at the moment. It would be quite possible as he was from Sheffield. Good thinking.
