burlington Posted 24 December , 2003 Share Posted 24 December , 2003 I am doing some strictly amateur research on the soldier father of a friend of mine.The soldier in question is Private Jesse Hiscock, 85505, who signed up in 1906, went AWOL after hitting a sergeant and then seems to have rejoined in 1913/14. He was transferred to the reserve in 1918.His paybook at the time of his transfer shows that he served with the DCLI and with the Devon Regiment.A photo of him with mates in 1906 is shown here. He is bottom left.I have also asked a question about a photo of him in uniform in the 'Uniforms' section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alkens Posted 6 January , 2004 Share Posted 6 January , 2004 Hi, great picture. In your research, have you ever come across a Henry Harris of the Devon regiment? Possibly a Sgt. His nickname in the regiment was "tich". Apparently he was a rather tall, well built chap. Henry Harris served in the Devon regiment from 1898 onwards. many thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
