Database of Soliders

The following database contains:

  • Updates to the Nominal Roll, including corrections to inconsistencies or duplicate records..
  • Additional information from other sources, such as service and pension records, medal cards, etc.
Over time, the database will be expanded to include soldiers who served with the 23rd but enlisted in other battalions, and enlisted / served with the other Sportsman's Battalions. It will also include more detailed information such as date of death, date of discharge, and medals awarded.
