CHARITABLE ADVERTISING on Web Site There are many worthwhile charitable causes in existence, but we can only accept sponsorship or fundraising efforts on Fusilier Association websites, that specifically support approved Fusilier charities. This essentially means that it is acceptable to use these pages to seek sponsorship for The Fusiliers Aid Society (which includes Fallen Fusiliers), and The Fusilier Memorial fund only. We now have our own dedicated justgiving site (http://www.justgiving.com/fusiliersaidsociety), which you can use to help raise money for your cause. If you let RHQ (Asst Regt Sec) know the specific cause you are raising money for, it will be directed to the correct fund.

Stephanie
Welcome to the LF Web Site.
In all probability the engraving on the silver coffee pot refers to RSM Henry Bibby 6863 (A/RSM) who served with the 2nd Battalion Lancashire Fusiliers. His MM was Gazetted 11th November 1916. His MC was Gazetted 28th December 1917, Gazette page 31. He was also the recipient of the WW1 1914 Medal, Victory Medal and the British War Medal.
Unfortunately we do not hold NOK records here at the LF Web Site. Such details will only be available from his Service Record held by the MOD Army Records Office in Glasgow. (only if he continued in service post 1920). Most Service Records of WW1 Veterans (1914 - 1919) were destroyed during the London Blitz of 1940 and are therefore unavailable. The Fusilier Museum Bury do not hold records of individual Veterans, and they too would refer you to the Army Records Office in Glasgow.
I am thus unable assist further. Their is of course the remote possibility that a relative may read your post.
I have sent you an email regarding your Gt. Grandfather Charles Holland 1/8th Lancashire Fusiliers.
Regards
Geoff Pycroft Researcher and Archivists the LF Web Site.
