Birmingham Absent Voters Lists on a popular site beginning with "A" show:

1926: Leonard James, 23 Alfred Street, Army No. 2648499 Corporal in the 3rd battalion Coldstream Guards

1927: Leonard James, 23 Alfred Street, Army No. 2648499 Corporal in the 3rd battalion Coldstream Guards


Just how do you cope with being right all the time, Scrimnet? :)


It is stating the obvious, but if he was a Corporal in 1927 then the Sergeant photos is presumably after then (providing he didn't yo-yo in ranks).

I will also be there in WW1 mode - on the WFA Stand again. Please keep pre-Zulu War questions to the minimum! (and yes, it was the 58th in New Zealand....)

You guys/gals rock! Not only have you answered this question, but I've also learnt a new way to search for information - that being, to search for what/who's not there (absent voter lists)... I'd never have thought of doing that in a million (or at least a thousand!) years.

Many many thanks from a very happy newbie!
