Special Reservists of the South Wales Borderers
Special Reservists of the South Wales Borderers
Special Reservists of the South Wales Borderers. They were mobilised on 8th August 1914. For further details, the following article may be of interest: http://www.1914-1918.net/reserve.htm The block of service numbers 11252 to 11628 appears to relate to Special Reservists who joined prior to the outbreak of war. I have researched all of these men, a large number of whom have been located on the 1911 Census. This has been researched since 2010, and my data appears on both my website, and I have granted permission for it to also appear on LOTFWW, hence this community.
