24 pages of Harry's Army papers for 70869 Henry Foreman are on Ancestry under Military and under WW1 Pension Records -which is odd and not Service Records.
Do you have a Copy of John's Death Certificate?
It would cost £3 for an instant Digital Image from the GRO
March Quarter 1929 Hendon Vol 3a page 718

Re Henry foreman just checking dates I have,on his inlistment papers,he puts 1877 as date of birth,he was born 1873/4.so I guess as he lived in very poor conditions in Little Edward st Camden,he most likely lied to get in.

Henry and John Foreman proving a Real Challenge to Research
Agreed Henry lied about his Age at Enlistment on 16 November 1914 at age 37 because he was really aged  41 the month before as born 5 October 1873 to Henry Foreman and Margaret Revell
In Henry's Attestation papers 55371 he declared he married Annie Robinson Spinster 8 April 1908 but the Marriage Index records show he married June Quarter 1908 St Pancras Vol 1b page 244 to Annie Maria Walton
John Foreman was One of Five Children of Henry to his first Wife Margaret Mary Egan of which 3 died pre 1906
John was in fact a Twin with Harry Foreman but he sadly died aged 1 -June Quarter 1897 St Pancras
His Dad Henry had another Son Henry with his 2nd Wife and he died also aged 7 on 09/05/1916 his Death Certificate are in the Attestation papers - I am having problems finding Henry's birth in 1909 and the other 6 Children
