Handwritten Codes on Casualty Records

I believe the code you refer to is the CWGC reference and the more important information is that which follows
ie. Sheet 109 MR 945687 which is a map reference and which I am sure a Forum member
will be able to interpret for you.

Thanks all for Casualty List & Map 109 showing initial burial location of my Grandad - Trooper R G Parker - died of wounds 03-09-1944

 

Hi Joe - my Grandad, Trooper R G Parker, died of wounds on same day as yours and both buried at this initial location before being moved to Gradara. Both probably received wounds from same shelling attack from Tavoleto OP

 

Andy.

I am going to be on the Gothic Line in Sep 19 and the very first Briefing Point is 800m from where your grandfather was initially buried.

If you would like a photo of the spot, please say and I will get you one.

Regards

Frank

 

Is it just me or has the merging\splitting of these threads made them incomprehensible?

 

I don`t think the merging was the problem the question asked when Owen merged them was relevant to the thread title however the later posts refer to `CWGC` documents not the casualty lists from findmypast

Hi,
Based on the original topic;
"Handwritten Codes on Casualty Records"
Does anyone know what the handwritten "noted on published rough - see Q.B. 13" means?

I have seen it on several Casualty Lists in regard to repatriated men.



Thanks
Geoff

 

I am looking at two pages of official casualty lists from 1943 and 1944, several battalions of different regiments are noted with the men from each one listed. Army number, surname and initials are given but after the surname a 3 figure number is given. On the 1943 page these numbers are either 601, 602 or 603, on the 1944 page the numbers vary between 636 and up to 649.
Would anyone know to what these numbers refer?
Thanks,
Bill.

 

They refer to their mention on a previous Casualty List due to changed status (such as Missing now POW etc)

 

I think OP is referring to the handwritten numbers which have previously been discussed in this Forum and for which a definite answer has yet to be found. If so they are not references to previous Casualty Lists.

Thanks Tim, yes indeed the handwritten numbers, thanks also for the pointer to the other thread.
Perhaps a mod. could move/delete my thread.

While I generally concur - I remember the debate some time ago and there is an element of doubt - the first two posts on that thread appear definitive in that they do refer to previous casualty lists. Personally I'm now totally confused because the handwritten numbers are invariably three digits....and there must have been more than a thousand lists? Surely? As I say, I'm confused.

 

In my post at #18 I suggested that the handwritten numbers might refer to the Press lists for publication. Whilst looking at another thread on Private Grogan this Casualty List was quoted:

It seems to support my hypothesis as there is no number against Grogan merely the note 'Not published'.
