King's Royal Rifle Corps - Other Ranks PoWs 1914

There are 358 men on this list of King's Royal Rifle Corps other ranks who were captured by the Germans on or before Christmas Day 1914. I have transcribed this data from the following Imperial War Museum collection:

B.O.2 1/138 is an 11-page badly-faded and often illegible hand-written list sent to Sir Ernest Goodhart by Officer i/c Rifle Records, Winchester, dated 3rd February 1919

My full transcription of these men (not reproduced here) also contains the home address and/or next of kin address of all of the men. Note that due to the poor quality of this scanned document, not all details are legible

The full transcription is available for sale for £25. Contact me if you would like to purchase a copy - albeit do note the caveat above.

For more information about these so-called 'Princess Mary tin PoWs' see my 1914 PoWs page. The majority of these men will also have records published by the International Committee of the Red Cross. Searching is free; finding your man can be difficult.

I research soldiers!
