Evening all,

It looks as though the Patrick O'Brien is the one with service number 2611 of 64th Foot (2nd Staffordshire), and who died 15 January 1858 (there is another Patrick O'Brien in this regiment at this time, but as my relative's widow remarried in November 1858, I'm confident this is now the correct one).

Is there a way to find a burial for this Patrick or a death certificate or will please?

And also, any service records?

Thank you.

Ah I see - so he was discharged in 1919 and then re-enlisted to complete his initial six year term?

Also, does it seem he went to Russia?  The documents I posted seem to show he was in the UK in 1919 but wonder if I've missed something.  It was also in 1919 that he was awared a Silver War Badge.  Do the records give an indication why this was issued?

Sorry, there are other points that I'm not that clear on but will have to come back a bit later as I'm away with work, BUT regardless of that, thank you all for your help here, as ever!

My very best wishes.

Here is the final part - as far as I can see, and tell, this is all the first world war papers.

Thank you, and again, apologies if this has been made more complicated than it needs to be.

Some more ... sorry they have been sent into various batches and trying to upload the important WW1 stuff first.

Two more ...
