Looking for WW1 records for Luke Morrison born preston 1892 died  1965, not sure which force he was in but know he fought in the war, if someone could give me a Linc as to where you can buy the info on line (if there is such like) I would be very grateful.

His birth and death show only Luke as a christian name but there is no Medal Roll Index card for a Luke Morrison - only a George Luke Morrison who was a Lieutenant in the 4th Seaforth Att MGC (machine gun corp I think)

Over 60% of WW1 service records were burnt in the WW2 blitz

Many soldiers in the WWI medal rolls are recorded only with surname and instals. So there are several L. Morrison entries but it is not possible to relate those to a Luke from Preston.
Southern or Southan [Hereford , Monmouthshire & Glos], Jenkins, Meredith and Morgan [Monmouthshire and Glos.], Murrill, Damary, Damry, Ray, Lawrence [all Middx. & London], Nethway from Kenn or Yatton. Also Riley and Lyons in South Africa and Riley from St. Helena.
