Pte. William Ratcliffe

British Army 28th Divisional Cyclist Company Army Cyclist Corps

from:Salford, Lancashire

My grandfather William Radcliffe, enlisted in the Kings Own Royal Lancaster Regiment on 24/01/1911. He was serving in India with the 2nd Battlion at the outbreak of WW1, and was brought back to England. It appears that on arrival in the UK, he was transferred to the newly formed 28th Divisional Cyclist Company latterly XVI Corps Cyclist Battalion. William arrived in France 19/01/1915 and served there until 24/10/1915 when the unit embarked for service in Salonika. I regrettably have no other details until his ultimate ill health discharge on 15/01/1919.
