George Robert Haddelsey wasn't commissioned until 31st December 1914:

That's the only entry I can find so far and it looks a bit ominous that his service file ends in 1917:

a little while before he came out of the army,
he was drafted to a new battalion,  15th resrve training battalin, at Brocton camp, Stafford.

15th Training Battalion does not seem to have existed

http://www.1914-1918.net/lincolns.htm

They are not always right, but are more often than not. I cannot force a reference to 15th battalion out of Google

The Arcives have been in touch,
and say there are 77 pages that I can purchase,
is this a normal amount,
or does it sound like I will get some nonsense for my money  ???
