Battalion numbers

[timbo]

Hi, I am a new member from Wigan and wonder if anyone can tell me what battalion do 2 pairs of medals that I have belong to.
1) 41760 Pte G. Peachey
2) 4414 Pte C. C. Farmer
Is there any way you can match the numbers to the Battalions ?
Thank you in anticipation
Best regards

Timbo

The number 4414 was used by the Regular Battalions and the Territorial Forces

but his renumbered number is in the block issued by the 6th Battalion.

Thanks for your replies, things are a bit clearer now
