22nd April 2005	Bill Cainan Glenn See if you can get hold of a copy of "the Noble 24th" by Norman Holme. It contains quite a long paragraph relating to Sgt Joseph Jesse Moore. The 2197 was his 25 Bde number (when he served with the 1/24th), and the 1109 was his SWB number, when the 2nd Warwickshires changed their title to SWB. Bill
