Hi, can some kind soul help me please ? I was sent the following info. way back in 1993 in the days when you could send proof of who you are plus a fee etc. to the MOD in Middlesex. It's been filed away until now !!
I'm trying to find any original records I can download of his service. I have his medal card.
This is what the MOD sent in their letter back then.....
28324 (formerly 34786) Private George William Mason. Oxford & Bucks Light Infantry.
Enlisted into the Kings Royal Rifles for the duration of the war and was issued with the service number 34786 - date 30.11.1916
Transferred to Oxford & Bucks Light Infantry - date not recorded
Posted to No. 1 Reserve Battalion - date not recorded
Transferred to Oxford & Bucks L.I. Depot - 27.12.18
Transferred to Class 'Z' Army Reserve on demobilisation 19.3.19
Overseas service..
India 6.5.17 to 27.5.17
Mesopotamia 5.6.17 to 10.8.17
India 18.8.17 to 20.1.19
I hope someone can make sense of it and point me in the right direction.
Thankyou for looking.
