    As a regular contributor to WW 2 Talk I wonder if there is a similar {excellent) web site devoted to WW1? Recommendations will be much appreciated. ps the chap I am researching was Captain Adjutant Frederick Bishop, Royal Regiment, in WW2. He was wounded in WW1 at Mons with the Scots Greys. Any info on the Royal Regiment and what he did in WW2 also appreciated. I think his number was 3090

    Great War Forum. I haven't really used it for a while, but the level of knowledge always seemed reasonable.

    Great War Forum

    I can also only think of the GWF
    (Even if I'm only in the sub-Saharan sub-forum there)

    Hello. A number of Regiments are/were entitled to use the honour of Royal in their title. The Royal Scots, for example, were The Royal Scots (The Royal Regiment):
    Home
    and the 1st The Royal Dragoons Guards:
    1st The Royal Dragoons - Wikipedia
    always referred to themselves as ‘The Royals’, subsequently carried across into The RHG/D, the Blues and Royals. Can you expand for your person of interest? I don’t have a Service No searching capacity.

    A 2/Lieut. F. G. Bishop gets a single mention in Vol. VIII of the History of the Queen's Royal Regiment. He is in the list of Officers serving with the Territorial Battalions - the 24th London Regiment (to be precise) in 1928.

    Well worth looking at the London Gazette for additional information.

    Regarding the GWF, I support previous recommendations.

    Sheldrake All over the place....

    The Royal Regiment of Artillery is sometimes styled as the Royal Regiment in the way quoted by Robin. The Royal Dragoon Guards were known as the "Royals" and the Queens Royal Regiment as the "Queens"

    Thanks again traced Bishops with your help. They went to France with same regiment on same day. Both injured at Mons, one captured.
