Miscellaneous Items

 


This embroidered item was the property of a Private Alfred Wilde, number 8992, King's Own Royal Lancaster Regiment.  Private Wilde is known to have served with the 1st Battalion of the King's Own prior to the First World War and records show he was with them between 1906 and at least 1910.  He went overseas to the Western Front on 27th August 1914 which suggests he was not with the 1st Battalion on the outbreak of war, but may be recalled from the Reserve and joined the 1st Battalion a few days after they had arrived in France, and on the day after the Battle of Le Cateau.
Accession Number: KO2119/01
