Query on a rank for an NCO - 1 Btn DCLI

• by marie.eklidvirginmedia.com

  I have an entry for a W Garwood, No. 9113 of the 1 Btn DCLI. For his rank it states Bgr. Anyone know what this rank stands for? He is on a nominal roll list for NCO's. Cannot find this Bgr. rank in list of Army Abbreviations. Diary page Link: https://talk.operationwardiary.org/#/subjects/AWD0003cpc

  Yes maybe Bugler, therefore he would probably have been a private.

  Sorry for the delayed response. Yes, Bugler is correct.

  Interestingly, although he is W. Garwood here in the diary, his medal index card lists him as Herbert Garwood. https://livesofthefirstworldwar.org/lifestory/1315242#timeline
