John McDonald

British Army 9th (Cycle) Battalion Hampshire Regiment

My grandfather, John Macdonald was in the 9th Hants Bicycle Battalion. Is it true that a command to mobilise the Hants Battalion was written badly and the 'a' in Hants looked like a 'u' and the Hunts were mobilised instead with many losses?
