I cant find 15085 t Dickinson,15085 is a number that was issued to the 24th manchesters,theres nothing in the MICs or the 24th battalion history.

Thanks Mack,
15085 was Hugh Ingram, who does not have a MIC, so presumably never went overseas.

William George Doozy? B Coy 7th Bn PA30461, I think he is 54390 George William Doody. Any thoughts please.

I was looking for 16th batt men with the surname beginning with U,all the surnames under U are lumped together,so I went through all of them,theres only the following men under the surname starting with U

Sydney upright PA5692+PA6841
john upton.PA19583+PA20657
William,h upton.PA5708+PA6902
w upton.R52654
Lt w.a.e urie.PA23363

Thanks Mack, thats a great help I'll add them to the database. You are quite right about Dundavy, his index card reads 1st Manchesters but as you say the record clearly has him as Munsters, my eyesight must be going :D
