wrong initials

  • erik.schaubroeckscarlet.be by erik.schaubroeckscarlet.be

    In the margin of this page the initials of lt col Sandys are clearly W.R.M., but I only find a lt col Sandys (28th Bde RFA) with the initials W.B.R. or William Bain Richardson. Also in the gazette it is W.B.R. sandys who gets the C.M.G. This reminds me of the Bartholomew C.W. we couldn't find. I'll tag W.B.R. (without the dots)?

    Lientenant-Colonel W. B. R. Sandys (28th Brigade).

    I tagged him with the initials W B R around about Oct 1914 in this diary.

    Also appears on this link: http://digital.nls.uk/british-military-lists/archive/103406247?mode=transcription

    Half way down.

    PS Also Have a note of Lt.Col. W B R Sandys joining on 16th Oct 1914 and being in Command.

    I think he probably is William Bain Richardson Sandys, but since we are not sure, you should tag him as W R M, but you can also put a note in the Comments that he may actually be W B R Sandys.

    Now we are sure it's W.B.R., Cynthia : https://talk.operationwardiary.org/#/subjects/AWD0003s85
