Lest we forget ... Alfred Edward Newport
Can anyone help?
My grandfather originally joined the 21 Battalion of the Notts and Derby with the service number T7206, then in 1918 was transferred to the 1/23 London Regiment, East Surrey and had a different service number 39462. Can anyone explain the change in service number?
He was wounded on 24 August 1918, how can I find out what battle the 1/23 London Regiment was involved in and where, he was hospitalised at Rouen before dying on 27 August
My latest blog post tells his story, but I would love to add more details.
Many thanks
