263925 Pte. Joseph Davies No 20 Remount Sqn Army Remount Service The only thing I've got about my great grandfather, Joseph Davies is he signed up at Oswestry, and was with No 20 Remount Squadron at Ormskirk.
Then he embarked from Southampton I think aboard the S.S. Teviot on the 27th of June 1915 and disembarked in Dieppe 1915-06-28 to join the British Expeditionary Force.
He was then posted to No 5 Base Remount depot but then reassigned to No 4 Remount Corps base on 15th of October 1916.
He was demobbed on 22nd of April 1919 at Dieppe.
I'm trying to find out what these lads had been through and the areas they covered.

245330 Pte. Leonard James Moore Remounts Army Service Corps All we know about the war service of my great grandfather, Leonard Moore is that he served with the Remounts section of the Army Service Corps, other than he said he was at the Somme, but we don't know for sure. In his civilian life he was a carter. He died in 1962. We have no photos on our side of the family of him in uniform.

231608 Pte. Edward Boyle 97th Company Machine Gun Corps (d.28th June 1917) My grandfather,
Edward Boyle was born in Newcastle in 1897 and, at some time, moved to Richmond in Yorkshire. He worked on a farm. He was in France about two weeks after the war started.
I don't know how as, even if he had been in the Territorial Army, he would have needed military training. For about the first year of the war he was in the Remounts Division of the Army Service Corps, acquiring and training horses. Perhaps, as it wasn't a combat role, he didn't need any army training. He may have been sent to France so early because of a need for men trained in handling horses. He was killed in action when his son, my father, was a few months old. His grave is in the Ramscappelle Road Military Cemetery near Nieuwpoort in Belgium.

220023 Pte. John Samuel Hudson Remounts Army Service Corps My grandfather John Hudson joined base 3 depot at Shirehampton on 14th of March 1915 serving with the Army Service Corps Remounts and he embarked to France on 18th March 1915.
He was in a gas attack & was temporarily blinded, as reported in the Beeston & West Notts Gazette & Echo, he was sent home on 10th June 1915, arriving on the 11th.
He deserted from hospital on 12th September 1915 and unfortunately the remainder of the service report is too faint to read.
The story he told the family was that, still wearing hospital blues, he hid under a train seat to get home.

207819 Charles Bage Loyal North Lancashire Regiment Charles Bage, my great great grandfather served from 1895 until at least 1917 in several services. Signing on with the Royal Scots Fusiliers in 1897, he then moved to 3rd Battalion Kings Own Yorkshire Light Regiment. He served in the Boer War at the Relief of Ladysmith and received the South Africa medal. He was then in the reserves until he signed up for ASC Remounts as a nagsman. In 1916 he joined the Loyal North Lancashires. In 1917 his service records stop and I have had great difficulty finding out what happened to him after that, no family members are left to ask, so I am afraid his story probably ends there for me. I would love to have known more about him as I am currently tracing my family history.
He was born in Sheffield in 1878. His service record shows he had a large scar of a burn on the left side of his face, but there is no record of how he received it. I think he may have passed away after the war but cannot be sure as every search I try does not bring his name up.
This entry is in memory of my great great grandfather,I am proud to know that he served his country, and am grateful to him and all the men and women who have given so much to ensure the freedom we enjoy today.
