The Jewry Roll of Honour includes a Lieut Moses B in 12th Manchesters.  May be the same chap transferred from Cheshires?

Here it is:

T./2nd Lt. Leopold Benjamin Seligmann,
late Manch. B.
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to
duty. When the enemy were turning the
left flank of the battalion, he collected a
small party of men and led them, under
heavy fire, round the enemy's flank, and
actually entered the enemy's trench, one of
his N.C.O.'s capturing two machine guns..
By his example and daring he saved what might have been a critical situation. He continued to inflict severe casualties on the enemy until he fell wounded

Jewry Roll of Honour attributes 18th Manchesters to the MC Citation
See LG 26/7/1918

Hi Tim

Ancestry have Lieut B Moses, The Manchester Regiment in the UK, British Jewry Roll of Honour, 1914-1918 but when you actually go click on, it takes you to a subscription paid website?

I wouldn't want to subscribe until i know what you get for your money? Not much good if all we get is basically what i posted?

Hi Ben,
I've made good use of the 7 day free membership for the extra site. I wouldn't wish to pay more now because I have saved the full Manchester Regiment Service Roll, the Roll of casualties for the Manchester Regiment (with addresses) and photos of a large number of Manchester Regiment men. The pics are great and include many casualties plus Honours and apparently random other men. I think I have all the Manchester Regiment pics with Issy Smith VC and one ore two other gems.
There seem to be inaccuracies in the rolls, but I ran out of time to check.
I'm sharing data that I have found, but I suspect copyright means I cant't post pics. What do you & Garry think?

Here's some good photos from the Roll.  Please delete the post if it could cause issues for the forum.

Didn't want to sign up to find like a lot of other site, you just end up with what you already now & Have.

None of these men are noted on the Manchester Regiment Jewish Roll.  Due to inconsistent data, it doesn't mean the wrong men have been identified.
