WW1 records that were not destroyed are available on line.  If you give details we can look for you.

thanks for your offer just come off phone with his only surviving daughter, whos given me more info  so I was able to do a better search and I found it all on ancestry  25 pages!!!  had his ear drums   blown in by shell attack and fractured his thigh bone in same attack. ancestry told me he was in 3 hospitals before being invalided out with 2/6 shillings pension!.  Ive spoken to my aunt before but obviously hadn't asked the right questions!!
