I have a database of all Royal Warwicks deaths. Service numbers 5031 and 5032 are the nearest to 5035 and both were 1st/6th RWR Territorials.

But the other nearest in each direction are 5026 11th Bn and 5044 twice - 2nd and 1st/7th Bn.

Thankyou verymuch for your reply that is very helpful what would be the key to this is if anyone knows how i could obtain enlistment dates were these ever put in local newspapers along with individual casualties

the list you have is it possible you could email it to me if on computer it would be a great help as i have done similar with the royal scots
regards

What exactly is meant by list? I have never seen enlistment dates as such apart from they might be mentioned in individual stories about a casualty?
