World War One / Re: Kings royal rifles 5th battalion/Charles Carter 1915

This is my husbands tree he thinks this might be the link but we are unsure.  What we need to do is find his army number & see if we can trace details from there!  His son was Charles Conrad Carter he was with the royal artillery and died just after WW2 in Malta, this might be the route we need to take, there might be details there.

World War One / Kings royal rifles 5th battalion/Charles Carter 1915

 ???trying to find details of my husbands great grandfather & where his family originated from.  His name was Charles Carter & from his wedding certificate 21Oct 1915 you know he was born 1889 & he was a private in 5th battalion KRR Botany Bay based Sheerness, his fathers name was john carter a painter, deceased.  They were married in Alton, Hampshire as his wife Edith Cox was from there.  Trying to find out if he was from Hampshire or Sheerness or somewhere completely different but then what brought him to KRR & what brought him to Hampshire, was he based in Winchester or was he from this area originally but happened to be based in Sheerness at the time of the marriage.  Any help advise is appreciated.

My brother served with the kosb, I asked if this could be kosb and he thinks it looks like an argyle and Sutherland highlander cap badge, if you have his army number the regimental museum might help.

I have only just joined this website and was looking for information on my family Gorrie/Eadie when I came across this thread.  Andrew McCracken was my great grandfather, he was in the KOSB but at the time of his death he was a garden and he died of peritonitis.  My great grandmother then remarried James Strachan.  Any information on my family would be grately appreciated.  Also, without knowing my brother joined the army in KOSB's without knowing our great grandfather had served with them!
