One of my relatives died on 11 May 1917 in Mesopotamia and is buried in Al 'Amara Cemetery, Iraq. His name is Richard Gorton Guest and his birth was 22 June 1886 at Everton, Liverpool, England. |

The Register of Soldiers Effects is rather a misnomer. In reality its a list of money/wages owed by the Army to the next of kin. |

Soldier's wills were often just a page in their pocket book, so may not contain much information. |

How nice to see original writing ... and thank you for letting me see them. |

Just thought it might give you an idea of what the wills might be like; not a great deal of space to write more than something fairly simple , but it looks like you would get original handwriting and a signature. |

Hello Rosemary, it would be better if you started a thread of your own rather than adding on to someone else's where it may get overlooked and not gain the attention it deserves. This thread was specifically about the UK Register of Soldier's Effects which would not cover Walter. |
