Hello,

I am new to the forum and don't know how it works yet. But i have seen some post's asking for a look up - so here goes.

Pte Joseph Tew

Duke of wellingtons (west riding regt) 1st/7th Bn

Died 11/10/1918

Number 33108

Buried in Wellington Cemetary, Rieux-en-Cambresis.

Could anyone please tell me when he enlisted.

Thanks

Munchkin.

Hello Munchkin and welcome to the forum.

Look ups can take a number of forms:

*Soldiers/officers died in Great War CD ROM (which a number of forum members have, ) gives info such as regiment, sometimes bithplace, residence, place of enlistment, former regiments.

*If you look in the documents section, Pals list books, war diaries etc which they have and which may be of use to other PALS.

*MIC look ups - these are the medal index cards at the PRO at Kew. They tell you which medals a soldier was entitled to, regiments served with and sometimes an enlistment date.

I'm going to the PRO tommorow and will see if I can find the medal index card for Joseph for you.

regards

Lesley
