Do you have anyone named Thomas LAMB from Manchester or South Lancashire?

Oops - never mind - I found him here:

National Roll of the  Great War 1914-1918 (Manchester)
page 217:
LAMB, T. J., L/Corporal, 2/7th Manchester Regt.
Volunteering in October 1914, he was retained on work of National importance as an iron turner at Messrs. Blakeley's Munition Factory, Atherton, Lancs., and did consistently good work during the whole period of the war. He rendered valuable services and in 1920 after his demobilisation in February of the previous year, was still employed by the same firm. 12, Brunswick Street, Hulme, Manchester Z6950

Hi,

Assuming offer still stands can you look something up for me.  Just found out my Grandfather was dishonourably discharged 'never to serve again' 

He was in the Somerset Light Infantry and his name was Louis W. Macdonald. 

Don't know if it will assist but the discharge was possibly in the Far East between 1924 & 1931.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Tracey

I looked him up for you but he doesn't appear on the list.

If you haven't already, I wonder if it might be worth posting a fresh request in the Armed Forces section as there are some people with other resources that might help you out.

Thanks Biker,

will do as you suggest.

Biker,

Are the records just for the Army or the Armed Forces? My great grandfather was in the Merchant Navy and was called Christopher FORAN. He died during the close of the war killed in battle but just wondering if he served any punishment prior to this?

Thanks

[Biker]

Hello

There is no Foran listed but this is British Army only not Merchant Navy.
