Dave Dycher has contacted us regarding research into the 5th Battalion, Devonshire Regiment.
I have been researching the 5th Battalion, Devonshire Regiment, for a number of years. As you probably know the 5th Devons maintained 8 companies across the region prior to and then after the first world war as part of the Territorial Force. Over the years as part of my research I have traced the battalion from its establishment in 1908 through the war years. I would be more than happy to share anything I have on these men or on the 5th Devons in general with yourself or any like interested local historians.
Being based in Hong Kong with little opportunity to get back to the UK, I would love to connect locally with anyone who has a similar interest and would greatly appreciate any connections you could recommend.
If you are interested in contacting Dave, contact the DHS site maintainer (webmaster@devonhistorysociety.org.uk) who will forward your message.
