6th Battalion, The Essex Regiment

I've updated the data for the 6th Essex Regiment, giving further examples of army service numbers and joining dates up until 1916, explaining how men enlisting for local guard and supernumerary company duty were numbered (and then re-numbered) and giving sample numbers and joining dates from the six digit series allocated to the 6th Battalion in 1917.

Find photos of Essex Regiment soldiers on my British Army Ancestors website.



I also offer a comprehensive, fast and cost-effective military history research service. Follow the link for more information.

  1. Thank you. I am researching my family tree and was trying to find details on my great grandfather just by his service number. You took me right to him. :)
