Have some more service records of rank promotions , discharges etc but a bit lengthy.
I know he was at the Somme because I have a letter written to his mother from the Somme but I know nothing really about any action he saw or which campaigns he was involved with.
I think he was injured out at some point to but returned but can't remember where this came from.
If anyone is interested I can scan his MOD service record that was s ent to me in 1995 . I've no idea if more info is readuily available today.
Would love to hear anything you can find.
Thanks
