Georgina, I wouldn't hold your breath regarding service records. As I've already said, over 60% of WW1 records were destroyed in September 1940 when a German bomb hit the War Office archives in London. Sometimes we hit lucky but more often we don't when looking for such records. |

Georgina, there's not much point in asking for further help when you've marked the thread as answered - that indicates that you don't need any more help. If you look at the list of threads on this board yours has a green tick in the "Answered" column. That happens when you click the answered button on any post on here - in this case you clicked Glitterbaby's near the top. I know it seems daft but clicking one reply affects the whole thread. |

These are the regimental #s of William Howarths in the Manchester Regiment taken from their medal cards after a search on the national archives website. |

Hello Georgina, where was he born? (If there's more than one of that name then that would help), but one of the problems is that over 60% of WW1 records were destroyed during WW2. |
