That Walsall absent voters list I linked to was from Spring 1919, but there is also one for 1918, details for Alfred are the same

Howard is a sadler in the AVC which is the Army Veterinary Corps.  His brother is in the LC which is the Labour Corps.

It is probably too large.  Try making it a JPEG?

[organicgardener]

It is already a jpeg Alan it says 143 jpeg ! I have found Grandads war records under Huch Challinor instead of Hugh.

OK see what the size is and what size the site lets you have and then try either cropping it to make it smaller or try a bmp and see if you an get the file data size down to below what the site alows..
