Hi - first of all thank you very much for your help ShaunJ. I have been speaking with my son and we checked our records. You're right he was born 25th May 1896 in (Streatham) and he is called Alfred in his birth certificate and marriage certificate. He did also live in Lochinvar Street in 1922 (on his marriage cert). So I think you must be right about him being in the 13th Sussex Regiment if you can see his Pension Index Card record with Lochinvar St listed. It is great to be able to confirm this and have his service number. Also thanks for the extra information on the PoW and discharge records - do you know where can we obtain those records if we wanted to get copies? One mystery still is the photo we were given of him, it very much looks like his face from memory but this chap looks like he's in an officer's uniform which doesn't seem to tally. I will try and upload the (very poor) photo I have
