I received a wedding certificate for my great-grandfather John Albert BAKER (1901-1974) and it listed his occupation as Royal Ulster Rifles. He was married in Ootacamund, India 1926, so I'm assuming his regiment was stationed there during this period.
I'd really like to find out a more about his time in service (i.e when he enlisted, whether he got any medals). Are there any military records available free online? I have a subscription with ancestry but cant find anything specific to my g-grandfather. Would be good to hear from somebody experienced with tracing army ancestors.
Thanks,
Descartes
