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:
- 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.
- Stretcher bearers, personnel engaged in
transportation and cooks.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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. )
