World War One / Re: Service records and medical records
« on: Wednesday 15 November 17 11:15 GMT (UK)  »
He was born in 1900 in Hastings,Sussex, and I found out he served from 15/7/1918 until 31/8/1918,I received great information,but trying to find out if there is anything else I can find out about him,his service record was probably in the burnt files,but just wondering if there is anything about being wounded,or discharge papers or anyother mentions,I've started hitting brick walls on trying to find out.

Thanks for the info Jim,now I know that he was a Middlesex soldier and saw action with the 9th batt fusiliers and saw action in France between July 1918 to August 1918,but apart from that I don't think I'm going to find out anything else,I'm grateful for the info you gave,thanks jim

I'm thinking the reason why he started of in the Middlesex regiment is because the lady he was seeing probably at the time and went on to marry her lived in bow in East London,at that time I think it came under the Middlesex area.
