207456 Sgt. Joseph Samuel Herbert British Army 21st Battalion Manchester Regiment from:Manchester Sgt Joseph Herbert joined the Manchester 21st Battalion 'E' Coy around August 1915 just after he turned 18. We know he trained at Heaton Park because he told us he did. We also know that he did not serve abroad due to his fitness but this is a bit of a mystery to us. We have some records such as information from when he left and we know he was based at Riby when he left on 1919 and he worked there as a clerk. On his wedding certificate in 1917 he is down as a clerk in the 70th training reserve. I would like to find out more about what he did and why he was promoted to Sgt but haven't been able to get hold of any records of his service.
