I think the name Keen has just been misread as Kun - the writing is very 'squashed together'.
I will take a look for 'uncle Baden'

Thank you Dea – I would never had imagined reading a pyhsical description of him. I will consider looking into the will, my mother may have access to it already.
Are there any other details on George's brothers? or perhaps Mabel snr's family? I am interested in this favourite "Uncle Baden" – the name is strange to me. The listing of her surname, as both Kun and Keen also interest me, is this just a evolution of spelling or perhaps a germanic name anglicised?
Best Thomas

Given that there are 27 pages of service records on him they don't actually say much - many are empty and others duplicated.
It does confirm his marriage to Mabel in Slough on 13th Feb 1907.
Daughter's birth 15th Feb 1908. - no other children mentioned.
He joined at 35, a Licenced Victualler of the Balaclava Inn. Height 5ft 71/2 ", weight 158 lbs and 'some false teeth'.#
Demobed 22 April, 1919 - received British War medal and Victory medal.
He did serve some time in France but the writing on the records is very feint so I can't see much more detail.

Greyghost - I have a letter from a young mabel which refers to her 'favourite uncle Baden Keen' - so this looks spot on.

Thank you Greyghost. Yes, this George character is what has been throwing the search off.
It certainly is the family - and gives me a few interesting leads. I will have to find out Mabel Snr. history.
