thanks Alison. i have ancestry but didn't know i could find things like that. i have looked at medal rolls of which i have all three brothers. service records for one of them and pensions record for the other. but i could only find medal card for henry- nothing else. i thought that if they died in ww1 they wouldn't have a service record. hmm thank you. you learn something new everyday! |

Henry's brother Frank joined on 13/10/1916 and was living with their father in Bournemouth so perhaps that's why Henry enlisted there. Thanks to all of you for helping. :) |

He must have been in two different regiments to have two numbers. My father in law had two numbers because he was moved between different regiments. |
