To which regiment does my Great-Grandfather belong?

[alan o]

He is in fact a Lance Bombadier (Lance Corporal) as he has a stripe on his arm.  It is in a WW1 style which makes it hard to see but is there.

Alan, does that mean I can rule him out as the Gunner Albert Pullin (745619)?

[alan o]

Probably as the medal card would say LBdr.

However if he was only a gunner but give local rank - ie he was not formally promoted but given LCpl temporarily, then his medal card would only show gunner.
Did you ever see or know if he had medals?  If he did not serve overseas he wuld not have got any and thus no card.

No, I don't know of any medals but my mother is fairly certain that he did serve overseas.  The family had a number of children, with a large gap in-between whilst the war was on - presumedly he was OS.

That artillery number would suggest Gnr P. served in  Welsh Territorial artillery unit, possibly with 54th Division which fought in the Middle East; might there be a welsh connection?

[Murphester]

Definitely Battiscombe!  He was born and lived in Newport, South Wales.

Are there Welsh records available somewhere?  Is there any way I can confirm that he was part of that division?

Medal index card would show rank he originally deployed with ...
With a name like that i think you have the correct card
