picked out a couple which are of interest and also answer the questions that one or two people have asked me. The questions- Did men serve in their local regiment? From the list it is obvious that the answer is no. The myth came from the first day of the Somme and the Pals Battalions. Before the Pals and since, men could be in any Regiment or Corps in the British Army. Question 2 - Did men from abroad serve in British Regiments and vice versa - Yes. Many men who had emigrated to Canada for instance, came home and joined their local regiment. Usually because the men saw it as a cheap way of getting home to visit relatives. Sadly many never got back to their adopted countries again. I have picked out three men - SYMONDS, Percy Browne Otago Regiment - This man had obviously emigrated to New Zealand as the Otago were a New Zealand Expeditionary Force Battalion (NZEF). He was the son of Barker and Fanny S Symonds of Keelby Lincs. He was killed 12/12/1917 on the Ypres Salient and buried Menin Road South Mil Cem. Amazingly (I think so :)) last year I visited his grave when taking photos in the area. 2nd/ Lt TEMPLE William, 17th Battalion London Regiment. Killed 07/06/1917 and commemorated on the Menin Gate. He would have died on the first day of the Battle of Messines. Interestingly his wife's address is Northumberland, so I presume that his parents lived at or near Brigg. Finally BARNES William Able Seaman who is commemorated on the Chatham Naval Memorial and died 15/10/1914. he either went down with his ship or was buried at sea. It is a little known fact that many soldiers where buried at sea - men who were wounded and on ships returning to Britain and died, would be buried at sea. Of course many men also died when troop ships were sunk. Regards Steve |

I'm researching men who served with NEw Zealand and who died on October 12 1917. Percy Symonds is one of those, who I note you have written about and suggest you may have a photo relevant to him. I wonder if you might be interested in sending whatever information you have on him, his family, his background, and images to me. lauren@primrose.co.nz |
