thanx alley I will look into it soory for the delay in replying I've had a few problems so have been unable to reply till now

Can anyone help me I've been trying to tie this person to my family tree and can't so I thought someone might be able to help me to find out about a Sgt frank Corbett service number 389033 who was honourably discharged from the South Lancashire Regiment on the 24 may 1919. There is a stamp on the back of the discharge that says labour corps record office Nottingham dated 17 June 1919 with a number under the date 32290. But no one in my family who I have none can place him I have found a Francis H Corbett born abt 1885 in Compton Kinver, England who is part of my tree but I have no-way of knowing if that is the same person. I have also got other information on Sgt frank Corbett now from other sources on the net as follows:

According to his Medal Index Card he was

13417 Sergeant in the South Lancashire Regiment, later 389023 Sergeant in Labour Corps, so he could have been wounded at some point 

Description     
Medal card of Corbett, Frank
Corps   Regiment No   Rank
South Lancashire Regiment    13417    Sergeant
Labour Corps    389023   

Date    1914-1920

The labour corps was formed in 1917, he could have been transferred if his fitness level had been downgraded,  due to wounds (as Wendi says) or sickness or perhaps the need for experienced NCO's

His number suggests he was a member of 818 Company which was formed on the 17th September 1917 in Salonika

this is all I have if anyone can help further with this I will be very pleased
thank you Peter Corbett

Hi
my grandfather worked for Harvey's of bristol at the kidderminster branch in swan street which is now the swan centre (shopping centre) but I am looking for any one who can tell me more about him what he did there and if anyone as a copy of a photo of him I would be very happy as I know very little about him as he died before I was born and there is no one left to ask now

his name was George Henry Corbett

many thanx Peter Corbett
