Kew

Hi does anyone visit the records dept. at Kew? I have the photocopy of my great grandfathers enlistment papers but cannot read the regiment that his brother (who was next of kin) was serving in. I am trying to find out what happened to his brother but there are a few soldiers with the same name so I am not sure which may be him. My great grandfather was Daniel Sloan, who enlisted in 1915 and was killed in Ypres in 1917. His brother was John Joseph Sloan. Many thanks Cass

John Joseph Sloan was born in Cumbria but in 1901 was in Houghton-le-spring. I don't know where he enlisted but my great grandfather was also born in Cumbria but enlisted in ?Middlesex. I will try to scan papers but my IT skills are not 100% Cass

Yes that is my Daniel Sloan but I don't think that is my John Sloan. I have found that one before and wrote to the Border Reg. who said that the soldiers no. indicated that he had joined after 1915 (but my John was in the services when Daniel Sloan enlisted in 1915. Cass
