Roll No. 4- Other

The following nominal roll of officers and men of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment shows those members who were on the strength of the unit in France at the time of the attack on Beaumont Hamel, as indicated by the records of the District Office of the Department of Veterans Affairs, St. John’s, Newfoundland. These members of the unit were not included in the previous nominal rolls because they were not wounded or killed at the time of the attack, nor are they shown as having answered the Roll Call. They make up the following group:

  1. The ten percent reserve which were held back from the initial attack and were brought up as reinforcements on the afternoon of the first of July.
  2. Stretcher bearers, personnel engaged in transportation and cooks.
  3. Attachments to brigade, machine gun companies and other higher formations. These could have taken part in the action at Beaumont Hamel but because of their detachment were not included in the Roll Call.
  4. One or two of the members listed on this nominal roll may have been en route to or from hospital but these numbers are minimal. Also one was taken prisoner of war and one other was believed to be the person who called the roll following the attack but who is not included on the Roll Call.
  5. Personnel who were en route from the United Kingdom in Draft No.7 left the United Kingdom on 29 June 1916 but were not actually attached to the regiment until 12 July 1916 and have consequently not been included in the nominal roll.

 As in the preceding nominal rolls, decorations have been shown where the information is available, death at some later time during service has been shown with an asterisk and ranks are the highest rank attained during service. ( There are one or two names which have been included where records are incomplete but according to the best information available, it is believed they were on the strength of the unit at the time of the attack. )
