Thanks Jim1, thats cleared up a lot of uncertainty and given me more detail about his possible service. Do you have any literature on the role of the I.W&D during WW1, it would be very useful to have a read. Thanks again.

World War One / Re: Inland Waterways & Docks, Royal Engineers

Guys, sorry to jump into your forum but I'm researching my Grandfather 'Sapper Charles Bovill' who served in the RE 'Inland Waterway & Docks' during period 1916 to 1918. He was medically discharged in 1918 and suffered for many years as a result (we believe) of being gassed during his operations overseas. He died 10 years later. What I am after is how I can find out where he served during those 2 years ..... are there not military records for all of our WW1 soldiers. The only thing I can find on Ancestry is his Medal card which only shows his discharge date and category. There is another record (WW1 Service Record) wrongly put against Charles when it should have been against his brother William. Any advise would be appreciated.
