Re: George William Hudson 1886 in Coldstream Guards

"FMP do not seem to have his records for him in the Coldstream guards but I think Ancestry do."

Ancestry has two relevant records, but with Reg No 7631. One as Wm Hudson and the other as William Hudson. But have Rawmarsh as residence.

These are transcriptions, the images are at "Fold3".

Many libraries have free access to Ancestry's records.

https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D2990100 has the medal card for George W Hudson 7631. The same as in Ted's message.

Nothing new here, but note the correct service number.

This fascinating and very detailed memorial adds interesting detail to what happened to George immediately after capture. It seems they first went to Schneidemuhl camp in north west Poland where 8 wounded Coldstreamers died. The survivors then moved to Neuhammer am Queis in mid 1916.
