I am afraid that your Herbert Reynolds was amongst the burnt records so we will not find out anything of his military service.
Southern or Southan [Hereford , Monmouthshire & Glos], Jenkins, Meredith and Morgan [Monmouthshire and Glos.], Murrill, Damary, Damry, Ray, Lawrence [all Middx. & London], Nethway from Kenn or Yatton. Also Riley and Lyons in South Africa and Riley from St. Helena.

Thanks for looking,  I do really appreciate it, a long sit down and long think on this one.

Such a shame that the records were burnt.

If I may, how do you know that he did not serve overseas, is that down to the medal numbers which are alien to me

Yes, if he had served overseas there would have been Stars, medals, reflecting that.

You can easily google the list of WW1 British medals and have the fun of finding those out for yourself.

My own grandfather was killed in France and his are also amongst the burnt records so I can understand your frustration.
