1915 short service record Arthur Lloyd
« on: Friday 15 February 13 20:54 GMT (UK) »
I have just got a copy of records from the WO97 records and my Grandfather has joined the Kings Liverpool Infantry Regiment in India in 1889 British Subject and transferred to England in 1892 and had served in the Boer War and came out in 1902 living in Liverpool.
No mention of later service on the records but I have an Attestation record for 22 June 1915, he is a clerk and the Corps A.S.C.
Does this mean he did further service in the war a note on the top of the record has the word Duplicity written.
He was a widow with small children but the address he has given is Cotton Exchange Hotel Old Hall Street Liverpool.

I posted a photo a few days ago on the restores board and asked on here about Medals so now trying to prove he had been in the war.
If there is a record how can I get it or see it.

Hi,

I think the word on the top of his record is Duplicate;  I've seen that on others.

The majority of WW1  Army service records were destroyed in the bombing in WW2.

So how could I find out if he earned some medals if he did service from this date.

Thanks Ady I realised that later so I am still unsure of who he is so will have to ask more questions from the person who supplied the photo.

Hi Edna

Ady is right. They are different men. The one serving in the Liverpool Regiment during the Boer War gave his DoB as 1871. The ASC man from WW1 was born c1878. Also, the WW1 form gives the answer 'no' to any previous military service.

The Boer War veteran had older siblings Edward and Lily, and both his parents were dead by 1889. He is a widower living in Bootle in 1911. And his daughters do not match the children of the WW1 man.
