Capt. H. D. Baines
British Army 7th Btn. London Regiment
from:
(d. )
Can anyone help me find out about a Captain H.D.Baines of the 7th Battalion City of London Regiment? I found an old book in a junk shop and his name was written in ink inside as if the book belonged to him also printed is Captain. 7th Battalion City of London Regiment and stamped date for August 20 1908. I would very much like to find out about this man and if possible return the book to his relatives if he has any, after all it is a very long time ago now. The book is called Old Time Paris, A plain guide to it's chief survivals by George F.Edwards M.D. It would appear to be an early edition as the pages have been cut by hand and similar on A.B.E. Books site all seem to date from the 1920's.

2nd Lt. Herbert Sidney Bainton

(d.16th Feb 1918)
Herbert Bainton Is my Great Granduncle, I found him while researching our family tree. Unfortunately I have no photos of him. Herbert was 2nd Lieutenant in the 28th Battalion of the Middlesex Regiment. He was wounded in France in 1917 and died in 1918 in London of his wounds. He was awarded the Victory Medal and also the British War Medal. I am immensely proud of him and am very glad to have found him.
28th Battalion Middlesex Regiment was a Reserve Battalion and it remained in the UK so Herbert was probably attached to one of the regular Battalions during active service.

Arthur Baird, known as Stan was in the Canadian Army engineers. He drove an ammunition wagon in France in 1914.

He was taken via hospital ship to The Sunnyside Hospital in England, near Manchester, where he stayed until 1918 or 1919. One of the volunteer nurses who attended him was Beatrice Bentley Rowe.

He left Glasgow for war and she gave birth to a baby boy my father. James died never having seen the child. She never had any letters from him but the war department sent his medals and the soldiers pass book, which I now have.
A few years later she was introduced to a gentleman who she married and he became my Papa. I have always had associations with the Irish and also Greece not knowing what the strong link was until recently when I did a bit of research and found out where he was born and also that he was buried in Lebet Road Salonika Greece.It would indeed be interesting to hear if any one in Dublin is connected. I was delighted to find this website and have found it to be very interesting.
