I am looking for anything on the 11st Royal Guernsey Regiment. I was wondering if they were stationed on Canada during the 1840s. Cheers, Dan.

I am looking for further information about 1st (S) Battn and 2nd (R) Battn Royal Guernsey LI during the latter years of WW1. My grandfather, 1917 Pte James Ellis was transferred to the RGLI and shipped to France after the Battle of Lys, so probably served as guard at HQ. I have reason to believe that ames was stationed in Guernsey with 3rd Battn North Staffs, prior to his transfer. Any info would be appreciated. Paul

i have written an MA on 250 men from Derry city Ireland who formed b' company 6th batt royal Irish regiment. the Guernsey men formed another company. is there anyone who is/has researched their role? There must have been friendships between them or even rivalry? would be very glad to hear from anyone with information. these men are buried side by side in graveyards in northern France. Most died at Guillemont and Ginchy sept 3 and 9 1916.

STOP PRESS: This site is run from CANADA by ONE MAN called Mike, whose interest is that his grandfather fought with the DCLI in the Boer War and WW I. Mike has done this site for US. We owe him a huge debt of gratitude. Mile has a high powered job, and 3 children he has to get through school and college. He cannot afford to do everything, either in terms of time or money. He has also had to PAY out of his own pocket to keep this site going for 5 years. Now the good news (hopefully): In my various capacities, I am trying to get this site up and running in the UK. I shall be contacting all LI Association Branches, asking for their support in doing this. If YOU do NOT belong to an LI Branch, then join one now. I need YOUR support if five years of really excellent work by a Canadian called Mike, who has never been in the Light Infantry but has done it for love and as a remembrance of his Grandfather, is not to go down the pan. Mike has agreed to try and keep the site open until I can take it over. If one day you find the site closed, keep looking regularly, because we might have to close it down in Canada before we can re-open it in UK. YOUR SUPPORT IS VITAL. I hope I can count on YOU, just like we have counted on Mike for five years.
