SOMMESOLDIER Posted 8 November , 2004 Share Posted 8 November , 2004 Hi There, Could anyone out there please help with ant further information on Pte Ralph Coates 72271, who died on 24-8-18. I am particularly confused as to his entry on CWGC. Instead of just saying 1st Batt Royal Fusiliers the entry is as follows: Regiment:- Royal Fusiliers. Secondary Regiment:- London Regt ( Royal Fusiliers ). Secondary Unit Text:- Posted to 1st Bn. Any help would be great. Cheers Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackblue Posted 11 November , 2004 Share Posted 11 November , 2004 Tim, The London Regiment consisted of territorial battalions and eight of these battalions were affiliated with the Royal Fusiliers. Have a look here: http://www.1914-1918.net/london.htm Have a look at the Long Long Trail through the link at the top left of the page which explains what further research you can do. You can download his Medal Index Card here: http://www.documentsonline.nationalarchive...1&resultcount=1 Rgds Tim D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
