In May 1916
On the 10th May 1916 approximately 68 men from the Hull area (some who had previously served with the E Yorks R) were (directly?) transferred to the 2/6th Battalion Notts & Derby – I don’t think that they went via the 3/6th (based on records for 2/8th men at the same time).
They were numbered from 241893 to 241960.
I have been able to identify and trace the fate of 60 of these men.
23 men (38%) were transferred to other Battalions and/or Regiments.
13 men (22%) were killed in action or died of their wounds.
21 men (35%) were made prisoner of war on the 21st March 1918.
3 men (5%) were discharged due to wounds received.
Awesome! Thank you for sharing this.
My great-grandfather, A.C. Dunn, is on this list.
Do you happen to know where he transferred from?
Would you be willing to share the source of this info?
Thanks again for all your work!

Hello Andre
I just compiled the list from records available on Ancestry and find my past – very happy to share, but there is only the POW record as far as I can see – the Sherwood Foresters numbering system makes it easy. If you let me send me an email to mike.briggs1910@gmail.com – I’ll send what I have found, cheers Mike
