Re: Is this my Grandfather ?
Hello Bruce
Arthur Bailey 72870 appears on a RWF wounded casualty list dated 11/9/1917. The placename given (address, next of kin) is Wisbech. The lists usually appeared som eweeks after the event.It is quite a large one (370+) and I am of the opinion it is one of the lists for the Passchendaele (Third Ypres) action end July/early Aug 1917.
The scenario here then would be wounded at this battle to the extent of loss of limb and discharged some months later.
If you send me your email by Personal Messenger I will send you the relevant pages from the Regimental Records covering the action.
