I have just been reading his Pension record. He had been discharged because of poor vision. But it looks like South Staffs reg.

Sorry Jo
I forgot to say where I had the info from, It was in my notes, I also had written down he had a slight flat foot.
I was surprised at Hampshire regiment but father and sister matched my John Sheldon.
Is his regiment number the same on his pension papers ?

Thanks
