July 1916 British West Indies Regiment (Belize)

Remembering the 5th Battalion of the British West Indies Regiment who sailed from Belize (formerly British Honduras) on 14 July, collected men in Jamaica on 15 July and arrived in Alexandria, Egypt on 17 August 1916. All of the men were volunteers. For those who died extra information has been collected from the Soldiers' Effects records, but for lots of these men there are only medal records because they managed to survive; (the medal rolls are however split by island and show their original battalion). So they sailed from home, served in the war and then sailed home again, with the regiment not invited to the Peace (Victory) Parade held in London July 1919 // incomplete.
