Beaver - see my reply 3.  How can anybody help you without knowing who you are referring to? 

You say you have all his details but despite requests to post them - you haven't done so.  Why??

Seems to be plain Alfred Horton in his baptism, marriage record and the 1921 census. He was a pensioner in 1921 so there should be a pension record.

Yes there is a Pension Index Card for him. The address  (10 Lochinvar Street Balham) tallies with the 1921 census.

He was in the Royal Sussex Regiment 9/17957

ADDED other records give his service number as G/17957.

ShaunJ - if I knew how to send the dodgy photo of my grandfather you would see he was quite 'officer uniformed' and the cap badge is quite East Kent-like that is to say like a dragon/griffin
