Welcome to my small scale attempt at gathering together as much information about the men, many of them West Ham United's original generation of supporters as well as former employees of the Thames Iron Works, who fought for the 13th (Service) Battalion of the Essex Regiment (West Ham), officially known as 'The Hammers'. Known here as 'The West Ham Pals'. + + + + Individual Posts about Men and Places are updated often, with new scraps of info which come to light, so keep checking back + + + + If your relative served with 13th Essex, please send information + + + +
All historical entries here are gladly open to correction! + + + + Taken from the Official War Diary, the Official Regimental History (Burrows), PRO Documents, Personal Stories + + + + It wouldn't be possible without the immense knowledge-base and input of the very, very helpful Pals over at The Great War Forum + + + + http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/ + + + + Extreme Thanks Go To: GrandsonMichael for Burrows Lookups and Glyn W for the Diary Lookups + + + + + + +
