1. 1. The Hampshire Fortress Companies, which ultimately became Army Troops Companies, were issued regimental numbers in the range of 518000 to 520000.

2. 2. Regimental numbers issued to men in the Labour Corps coincide in some cases with regimental numbers issued to men in the 560^th (Hants) Army Troops Company.

3. 3. Many men who appear on the 1914-15 Star, British War Medal and Victory Medal rolls do not have Medal Index Card.

6. Number of Men Assigned to the 560^th Army Troops Company and their Dates of Arrival in France.

An Army Troops Company was organized much like a Divisional Field Company and performed similar service in the field during war. While the Divisional Field Companies were organically assigned to division (one per division), the Army Troops Companies were assigned to Field Armies at a ratio of one per division in the Army. A Field Company (and probably an Army Troops Company) consisted of the following personnel:

Non-Commissioned Officers: 23
Company Sergeant Major – 1
Company Quartermaster Sergeant – 1
Farrier Sergeant – 1
Sergeants – 6
Corporals – 7
2^nd Corporals – 7

Other Ranks: 186
Sappers – 134
Shoeing Smith – 1
Trumpeter – 1
Bugler – 1
Drivers – 37
Batmen – 8

If the 560^th Army Troops Company originally consisted of 215 officers and men, then it received 279 minus 215, or 64 replacements during the war. The distribution of the men arriving in France, as shown in the table above, is rather unusual. The unit war diary indicates that the company departed Southampton on the 18^th of January 1915; however, the Medal Index Cards only indicate that 14 men arrived in France on that date. 518024 Corporal Walter W. Gurnsey was in France on the 11^th of January 1915, probably part of the company’s advanced party. Only 14 men arrived in France on the 18^th and 19^th of January and 66 more arrives on the 21^st of January, making a total of 81 men of the company in France in January of 1915.

During August and September of 1915 50 more men arrived making a total of 116 in the company. However, the main body of the company, 137 men, did not arrive until the 19^th and 20^th of October 1915 with 11 more arriving on the 23^rd of November 1915. All of these men were awarded the 1914-15 Star, British War Medal and Victory Medal. Another 179 men with regimental numbers in the 518XXX range arrived in France in 1916 or later, according to the Medal Index Cards and were only awarded the British War Medal and Victory Medal. These men may have been replacements for men originally assigned to the company.

The unit war diary records 6 men of the company killed in action or died of wounds and 19 men wounded in action.
