Hello All

After a recent visit to the PRO I found the records of my Uncle who was in
the D.L.I. Labour Corps. His Reg No 112653.
Attested 23. 9. 15
Posted 24. 9. 15
France 31.1.1916 to 31.1.19

His papers have 21st. D.L.I. This has been crossed out and an insertion is
as follows:
Labour Corp 188 transferred
Labour Compy under ACI 611 of 1917
---- Emp Coy 832 posted 6.12.17
D E Coy 232 Posted 31.6.18

He was wounded in France in 1917 according to his Military History Sheet,
unfortunately no dates are given for this incident. From this very scant
information would it be possible to give me some idea which battles and
where in France he may have served.

Why would he be transferred to a Labour Battalion. Could this be due to a
wound to his arm, noted on his Military History Sheet, or some other
circumstances?

Regards Carol
