CRAWFORD, Company-Sergeant-Major W.H. c/o 85 Castle Terrace, Ashington, Northumberland.

Enlisted 2/1 N.C.B. October 8th, 1914,. Promotions, etc; Full Corporal, Lance Sergeant-qualified at Aldershot as P.T. and B.F. Instructor and at Strensall as Musketry Instructor-then promoted C.Q.M.S., then C.S.M.

I think I can safely say I was claimed by the Battalion as an all-round instructor.

August 27th, 1918, proceeded overseas to France. Posted to 9th Northumberland Fusiliers, then 5th K.O.Y.L.I., Cambrai Front. Engagements nil, owing to Battalion order not allowing C.S.M.s to go into line after September 6th. Battalion took Havrincourt on September 11th,1918, and kept busy till Armistice was signed there, last stunt being a village just outside Mauberge.
