Hi Evie,
Yes I have downloaded the original image of 2 relatives who are listed as Overseas Military.  The images give Name in Full, Rank, Age last birthday, Condition as to Marriage, Unit or Arm of Service, Trade or Occupation if any and Birthplace.

Thanks for your replies Kerry and Kaybron :)

On the transcript does it give the rank and unit or arm of service? I cannot decide which one to download as a search for him with his place of birth did bring up my guy and I know he wasn't married at the time.

Hi Evie,
Both images I have give Rank and the Unit.
One has Walter Percy Hammond  Private and in the Unit column has West Riding Regiment
Second has John Hammond Private and in the Unit column 12th R Lancers

The transcript provides just as much information
For Albert Edward Hammond  Marital status is given, age, Where born and in the Military details are given about Rank and Unit   In the final column for Albert I have Lance Sergeant 10th Battalion, Alexandra Princess of Waler's Own

Just as much detail is provided on the Transcript as the Image.
