Thank you very much for the replies and useful information.
In reply to jim1 - he only has a photo and a brief letter with no identifying info, other than it is signed H.Scarlett, with his regiment and service number, as mentioned in my original post.

The Common Room / H.Scarlett (WW1 Soldier) - Who is he?
« on: Tuesday 02 July 24 10:57 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I am trying to assist an acquaintance, with finding out any information about a soldier, who served with the 1st Bn Devonshire Regiment from 1916-1923, a Mr H.Scarlett. His post WW1 service, was with the North Russia Relief Force.
We only have the first initial of his first name and regimental number, which is 5608314.
With the information we have, the only confirmed record that I could find that is linked to him, is on the Military Discharges Index (1920-1971), which provided his date of birth as being 28/12/1897, however despite having this useful information I have not been able to find him on any censuses, 1939 register, date of death etc.
Thank you.

Thank you so much for this information, it is very much appreciated.
Just to add some context, I recently (by luck) spotted a listing on Ebay of several letters written to members of my family in Ayr from Canadian servicemen (and their mothers) thanking my family for providing lodgings etc.
Included with this particular letter I attached an extract from on this post, there was also a photo of Sam and his brother in their uniforms that Sam's mother had sent with the letter, so am really pleased I can do some more research now the surname has been kindly deciphered!

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Irish DNA - No Ethnicity Region
« on: Thursday 18 August 22 15:08 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I took an Ancestry DNA test several years ago and every time there has been an update I have consistently had a good one fifth of my DNA come up as Irish, however even with the recent update I still have no ethnicity region breakdown.
Everyone else I know who has Irish in their results has an ethnicity region shown and it is spot on with what they know of where their family came from, I have even had a higher percent of Irish DNA in my results than someone who has got their ethnicity region provided.
Another update has been and gone and still only says 'Ireland' and the percentage..
