World War One / Re: How can I find where my granfather was in ww1

Hi David,

Thank you so much for your help,

I have sent off the details to the Kins Own Museum in Berwick on Tweed with the hope that they can use the information to tell me the area where Pops fought so that we can head to the correct place.

Thank you once again, I could not have sorted this out without your input.

Hi David,

Thanks for that I agree that does seem to be the most likely, unfortunately I have nothing with a number or any information on it.
I know he was shot and evacuated back to Longleat house (there was definitely a bullet wound in his shoulder)

I have managed to find several medal campaign "books" on line but can't tie any of them up to him as I have nothing to go on, taking my Uncle to France during half term to hopefully visit area where "Pops" fought, he was definitely in the K.O.S.B during the 2nd world war do you think this would mean he was most likely in the same regiment during the first?

Apologies for being so dim, I just wished I'd asked pops when he was alive but he never really discussed much about the war.

Thanks
Jazzman

World War One / How can I find where my granfather was in ww1

Total beginner at this, looking for any information to locate William Ashwood in WW1, born in Scotland 1897 and lived in Glasgow although he may have lied about his age to join up.

I can find his cousin (same name) and records of his death, I am taking my uncle to France to visit the war graves and would like to visit correct area.

Have no idea  what I am doing, I know he was definitely there but with which regiment I have no idea.

Hope someone can guide me.
