Military Service Records

[csh]

Just discovered how useful these records are because of the diligence of the Army who records families, children, addresses.

I have been looking into these records and uncovered a second marriage of the father, two step children, two other children classed as full blood to the deceased soldier all in 1919.

Now all I have to do is find the two brothers (the soldier and his brother) in the 1911 census having found them in this paperwork.

Hi chs,

            I agree with you.

I have just found my g,uncles Pension Record.On it it gives the names/addresses of his sisters-one of whom was my g,gran and names,ages of his children in 1921.Fascinating stuff!.Just a pity lots of them were destroyed.

They are good aren't they.

I have been fortunate to find military and pension records for a few of my gt and gt, gt grandads and uncles who served in WW1

However, I have just had to apply to the MOD for one of my gt grandad's service record as he continued in the army after 1920 so his records are still with the MOD.  I am not sure what to expect but fingers crossed.
