I'm afraid he gives his occupation as 'labourer' - anything else would be far too easy coming from my grandad!

Just a quick update. 

I still don't know which batt. Charles was in but I have been told he joined the Ox & Bucks in June 1902.  A tiny step, but better than nothing!

Hi Sandie
I do strongly recommend the SOFO web page I pointed you toward above. They have 'looked up' several people for me and provide great info.
It is really quite likely they will give you much info.

Hi Nigel

I did post a question asking them when his number was issued and when I hadn't received a reply I decided to join the Great War Forum to see if anyone there could help me find out more about his time in WW1.  I mentioned I had asked SOFO about his number and someone posted his joining date for me and said SOFO hadn't received the message - I sent it via their 'contact us' link.

I was going to ask them if/where I could find his earlier records but they charge a fee of £25 which you have to pay before sending the message and I just can't afford this at the moment so will have to leave for now, but thank you very much for your help.

Regards

Just a note to say a huge thank you to all who helped me with this query.

I did eventually contact SOFO who have just got back to me.  I now know he was with the 2nd Batt. of OBLI and have the dates he transferred to the other regiments.  Sadly I didn't find any personal info. i.e., date of birth or place of enlistment, but hey it's better than knowing nothing at all.

Again thanks to all.

Regards

Probably as well you found out when he enlisted in OBLI. I have found a Charles Henry Welch who was born Butters Marston, Warks 1877 joined the RA and was dismissed in 5 Apr 1905 as "incorrigible and worthless" and was in Gosford prison at that time.

He may well be related?

Sorry, me again!

I think I already know what the answer to this will be but ... is there any way of finding out why my grand-dad was sent home for a year?
