Worcester Regiment in Great War 1914-19

Please PM me with any request wulliam

I have a digital copy of the above work by Captain Stacke - it is the definitive work on the Worcestershire Regiment. I am willing to look it up for you on the following terms:

• You must state the Battalion you are interested in. If you don't know the relevant Battalion then I am afraid I don't have time to trawl the 667 pages.
• You must state the chapter or section that you wish me to look in. Please see the list below.
• Please, NO general lookups for surnames or 'everything that the 3rd Battalion did in the war'.
• The kind of request that will get most time from me is along the lines of, "Please look in the Roll of Honour for Joe F. Bloggs and find out what the 1st Battalion were doing between Feb & Apr 1917".
