Might be of help:

Added: Think we might be barking up the wrong tree here as looking at the SWB records this Matthew was aged 21 on discharge, which makes him too young. Reason for Discharge looks like gunshot wounds.

thanks for that, our Matthew was much older so I would agree - wrong tree  :(

there is still the electoral roll but with my luck he was probably a civilian before end of war, plus I need to find an address.

Also I need to find local newspapers who may have reported/listed names

My Grandfather was also gassed, my sister thinks he was in a house in France, where his eyes were bathed.  She also thinks he was in the army for a short time and did not get a Medal.

If he served overseas he would have got medals. It wasn't determined by length of service.
