He's not on British overseas births. I'll have a look through military. Not in military either. Deb:)

Dear Frank Do you know what regiment his father served in? The regimental website usually has a timeline on it which could help you figure out where he might have been at the time of Arthur's birth. British regiments were all over the world at the time. I had a quick look at the Malta website and came up with the following Underwoods - not sure if they fit in anywhere? William UNDERWOOD 1902 Royal Artillery From the Ionian Index 1800-1900 Ann Jane UNDERWOOD, born on Corfu John UNDERWOOD, born on Corfu Best of luck with your search Maria

As far we know his father was in the Royal Army Medical Corp. Arthur actually joined this corp as a boy solider some time before the second world war and had a long carrer in it rising to the rank of Major. Frank
