Hallo all
With this blog I shall try and bring together details of the men their lives and their actions, from the time they answered the rallying call at Stratford, Christmas 1914 right through to their eventual disbandment in February 1918.
With your help, we can get as much background to these men, and tell their stories once again.
If you are a relative of a man who served with the 13th Essex, "The Hammers", please mail his details and any other information or images you may have.
