About 70% of WW1 records were lost during bombing in WW2 |

Hi Glitterbaby I do know when and where he died also the regiment that he was in I was hoping that I could find out more about his service, such as when he joined and where else he served before the war. Kind Regards Dannie |

Hi Glitterbaby I was hoping that I would be able to send for his Army Record as this will give details of his height, hair and eye colour and any scars or tattoos that he may have had. The reason for this is that I have a couple of photo's, which came from his brother's family and was hoping having this information I might be able to find out if one of the photo's is of him. Kind Regards Dannie |

As stated before only about 30% of all WW1 army records survive thanks to a german bomb in WW2. |
