Risby Posted 7 December , 2003 Share Posted 7 December , 2003 Can anyone explain the link between QVR and 9-London Regiment, please? My grandfather was Pte 393193 G W Spencer, wounded and happily recovered at Dover Castle in 1918? He passed on "his" army spoon but I see that it belonged to QVR 394621. Were these units one and the same? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
