peter monahan Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 What period? WWI is pretty easy, before or after not so much but I'm guessing from the 5 digit serial number War I or II.
FOR VALOUR Posted September 9, 2013 Author Posted September 9, 2013 Hello Thank you he is WW1my apologies for not stating this, I have his trio and numerous personal papers but I could find no record for him. Regards David
peter monahan Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 David I assume you have access to his basic records, as kept by the War Office - or whoever bought them recently for genealogists! If you know what brigade or battery he served with, there are a couple of sites where you might find more info: http://www.1914-1918.net/rfa_units.htm and http://www.wartimememoriesproject.com/greatwar/allied/royalartillery.php. The second one is The Memories Project - personal reminiscences by vets, so if you're lucky you might finds one by someone who served with/near him. Good luck! Peter
