The RWK number belongs to a series reserved for men enlisting as career soldiers. It's higher than any of the numbers I have in my database and probably dates to post Nov 1918. <br />Paul Nixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12354531380984476532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1944079581687608453.post-46481199583293766132013-09-11T05:03:43.989+01:002013-09-11T05:03:43.989+01:00Hi - can anyone help with my Great Uncle's mil...Hi - can anyone help with my Great Uncle's military numbers<br />10/London Regiment 374258<br />Royal West Kent L/13202<br /><br />Does the 10/London Regiment imply 10th battalion?

Bourley Camp was ...That's a cracking photo, Vicki. Bourley Camp was at Aldershot and this was possibly taken during the 10th London's annual camp in August1911. I'd have to dig through some old 10th London attestation papers to be sure of that. <BR/><BR/>Interesting headgear. It looks as though they've all tucked something under their caps to protect the back of their necks from the sun. That, and the fact that they're in shirt sleeves (well, as cooks, you might expect them to be, I suppose), lends weight to the August 1911argument. Also, the non-uniformed man is wearing a boater - a summer hat.<BR/><BR/>Apart from the chap standing second from left, back row, they all look fairly seasoned men, for want of a better term, and were probably 18th Middlesex Volunteer Rifles Corps volunteers before they re-enlisted with the 10th Londons in 1908. <BR/><BR/>If you have a relative in there, do you know his name and number?<BR/><BR/>Would you mind if I use that photo on this particular blog post?Paul Nixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12354531380984476532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1944079581687608453.post-54762649670062878482009-01-19T18:25:00.000+00:002009-01-19T18:25:00.000+00:00Can you shed some light on this photo, please?
