Hi

I have just found this

Historical disclosure has access to records of all Army Personnel discharged from regular or reserve service between 1921-1997 except Officers and Soldiers of the Foot Guards Regiments, these records are held at the
Regiment Headquarters
Wellington Barracks
Birdcage Walk
London
SW1E 6HQ

Does this mean the Alfred's records may not be held with the MOD and can be obtained from the Regiment Headquarters

Topas does have Mathew Hedges Army Record he joined Royal Fusiliers in Aug 1906 and and transferred to the RMSI?  Oct 1906 so he change his name between 1906 and 1911

I think this means that the service records of the Foot Guards are at  the Regimental Headquarters rather than in Glasgow where I believe the rest are.

Topas, if you have the service record for Matthew Hedges what does it say about his discharge?

Hi Andy

There nothing about his discharge, it stated he was transferred to the R M S I or J ? on the 23 10 1906, underneath this lower down the page is another date Hounslow 26 10 1906

It also states he was with the 15th Middlesex V.C.R before joining up
