The 25th Manchester Regiment was a reserve force set up, from what I have read, in 1915 and disbanded is 1918. My elderly aunt insists that her father served in WW1 and suffered from shrapnel wounds. I eventually found the regiment he was in and his number, this was discovered on a deceased Aunt's birth certificate. In column 6 on the birth certificate, dated 1918, is the father's occupation. Here it lists Private, 25th Manchester regiment, 26412, in brackets, labourer in iron works. Now I have tried to find on the military sites a record but to no avail.
Does anyone know if any records exist or in fact if the said regiment actually went overseas at anytime during WW1?
Vonny.
