I couldn't find any


don't forget, only about 30% of the service records from WW1 survived WW2

Also, I myself have never yet found any service records for a man who had died .............. others have, but I have not.

Researching:
My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.

Hello, just wondering if anyone with access to Ancestry could check whether any service records for my ancestor Samuel 'Albert' Andrews exist. The details I have for him are...

Rank:
Private
Service No:
201612
Date of Death:
09/10/1917
Age:
20
Regiment/Service:
Gloucestershire Regiment 1st/4th Bn.
Panel Reference
Panel 72 to 75.
Memorial
TYNE COT MEMORIAL

I managed to find the record for another ancestor who was killed around the same time from when he was enlisted; not sure if such a record will exist for him too.

Thanks
Hannah
