Armed Forces / Where do I find the Army Act 1914(Topic finished - thanks)
« on: Wednesday 05 December 07 14:56 GMT (UK) »
Hello All
I've found a great-uncle who was tried by DCM for 'such an offence of a fraudulent nature as to be mentioned in subsection 5 of Section 18 of the Army Act'.
Whatever it was, he got 56 days for it in late 1914.
Where can I find out what offence it may have been that those parts of the Act apply to, please?
TIA

Thanks for all the pages! Now time to get the magnifying glass out. I thought that everybody was able to write neatly in the 'good old days'!!
Your help has unfolded a whole new page in the family history and it looks like it will be an interesting read, after an initial look through.
All I have to do now is find out why his daughter, born in 1915, was given up for adoption.
Once again - many thanks for the time and trouble taken.

His MIC does say 'SWB List MGC/269'. The comment about him being a 'naughty boy' has me most intrigued and I'm really looking forward to finding out more.
I've tried posting the MIC pdf - first time I've tried it so I hope it works!. Most of it is fairly readable and I need to be able to understand what the entries mean, but there is a spidery entry in the remarks section that has me beaten!

Thanks a lot for the links. I find it hard to see how I missed him when I checked NA - senior moment probably! I've downloaded the MICs and they were both the same, but worth a go.
Now I'll have to find out how to interpret them!

Kildare / missing CORE (Topic finished - thanks)
« on: Thursday 29 November 07 20:25 GMT (UK) »
Thanks for the suggestions. I had his birth quarter and census details a while back, that's partly why this is so frustrating - having so much and then whacking my head on the wall!
I've also posted the query on the the armed forces forum - thanks for the idea.

I posted this on the 'Kildare' forum and was advised that I might have more luck here - so here goes!
My great-uncle Frank Timperley CORE married Sophie Eliza RAYMOND in 1912. On the marriage certificate he is listed as a Private in the 8th Hussars, stationed in Curragh. His age is given as 26.
That is the last record that I have been able to find. I don't know how to find his service record, if it exists. I've checked the National Archives for the medals. I can't find a death for him either.
Would SKS point me in the right direction please?
TIA
