My Great Grandfather John Thomas Trim Born 1877 in Balham, London was in the RASC then transferred to the Labour Corps in WW1. This would make him 38 years old, was that quite old to be serving? On his mic it says he served in Gallipolli. His Regtl Nos were 15363 & 303629 respectively & his date of entry was 28.9.1915. His service & pension record would appear to be missing & I have read the extract from the 29th Divisional Train on Ancestry.
Is there any way of finding out what unit or division he was in or indeed any more about him? 
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Shirley

Thank you, it is definitely of interest. My grandfather wrote a short biography & in it he says he was made a bombardier at Braughin, Hertfordshire, had gained his instructor's certificate in signalling at Southern Command School of Signals.He says they were moved around various places on the East Coast. That would tie in with the link you sent.

I'm trying to find out anything I can about my grandfather Walter Joseph Dew & what he did in the war . He was in 379 Siege Battery 2/2 London RGA. His Regtl No was 318463, his rank was bombardier & he enlisted on 14th September 1914 & he was a qualified signaller. The only thing he ever said about his time in the war was that he was at the Somme when it was frozen over. He did write a short biography & in it he says that he wasn't too happy about being put on coastal defence. Then he missed the draft to our 1st line battery in France because he broke his collar bone but eventually joined them in 1917. He doesn't say anything else apart from being stunned when the cease fire sounded & he didn't get back to England until May 1919. So if anyone can help or advise I would be very grateful.
Thank you very much in advance,
Shirley

Could someone help in pointing me in the right direction in finding out some more about James Wills born 28.9.1896 in Maybole, Scotland. He served in the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders & I have found his mic with his service number s.16549 & it doesn't say what theatre of war he was in. He is my husband's grandfather & he did hear a story about him having trenchfoot after he had been in France during the war, but this is all we know. He also played for Queens Park FC & I haven't got anywhere with that either.
Any help with any of this would be gratefully received.
Thanks,
Shirley
