HI Annie 

Could you and your fellow friends here explain how and where would I be able to
view Frederick's records please.

Also any cost if possible to do on line or does it mean a visit somewhere ?

Sandy

Hi again Annie

Thanks for P.M.

What I really needed to know was how would I find any reference to Frederick's
service records before a trip to the National Archives (is this also known as the
London Record Office stated by Andy above).

Thanks

Sandy

Hi Wendi

Thank you for confirming that for me.

Still can not find on the site about viewing his service records.

Bad day yesterday, worst today.

Time for a rest me thinks to re-think.

Cheers Sandy

Back to original request how can I find Frederick Harris's information please on the
L.RO database showing me reference to his Service Records.

Sandy,
 
Luckily for you I’m nerdy enough to have a copy of the medal roll for the 10th London Regiment! The details for 421119 Pte. Frederick Harris are as follows:
 
2(b) 6.8.15 to 13.12.15
4(a) 18.12.15 to 18.3.16
4(b) 19.3.16 to 19.1.19
 
In layman’s terms 2(b) is Gallipoli, 4(a) is Egypt until March 1916 and 4(b) is Egypt and the Palestine Campaign. All in all, Fred was pretty fortunate to have remained with the battalion from Gallipoli to the end of the war as the 1/10th Londons took particularly heavy casualties at Suvla Bay in 1915 and 2nd and 3rd Gaza in 1917.
 
Regards,
 
Steve
