Cheers!
I had found his death and the National Probate Calender, but had drawn a blank on the medal index card.
I bet after all this there won't be a connection with 'my' Hammonds but at least I will have confirmed or disproved a family story.  William Walter hammond is the father of Walter "Wally" Hammond a Gloucester and England cricketer

Just thought I would feedback on the quote I have received from the National Archives for a full copy of William Walter Hammonds military records - £369.80! It is 151 pages, but unfortunetly I won't be getting a copy.  It would be cheaper to go to London and look through myself and only photocopy what is useful to me.
I would request specific information but have no idea which bits would be useful!
Thank you all for your help

Phew! Pricey but it is a big file.

Why not ask on this site or on Great War Forum (Google it I think there's a section for TNA requests) and see if anyone is going to the NA who is prepared to snap the file for you? There are some very kind people around. Just pay them (ususally) for a CD and the postage (some kind souls do it for free).
