Sometimes a regimental museum might hold a little info on the men who served in the regiment, but I think with RFA it's fairly unlikely. If you think he might have served after 1920, his records will still be with the MOD. |

I just asked Karen to send me a copy of the cert to see what it says, and it does say soldier - not a lot of help, though! |

Do you mean the one in the RFA? He was in France and Flanders in 1914 as he got the 1914 Star medal. Would that fit in with his age? He was also wounded as he got the SWB badge. As there are no service records on Ancestry, then they haven't survived. Could he have married or had children whilst he was in the Army? Any certs might mention his regiment or regimental number. |
