Did William ever live at Radley Street Ossett?
If so his son has a WW1 Army record on Ancestry served in 4th KOYLI until 1916.
son also william enlisted as number 1269 in 1910.

No other family details except the ossett address

Thank You for your help, Yes he did live at Radley Street Ossett
His son William was born 1891 and served with the K.O.Y.L.I

Yes you are one of the lucky ones his record survived only 30% do after the blitz.
He enlisted in Territorials in 1910 and was what is called a Time Expired soldier ie he had served his period of enlistment so by 1916 was free to go home...Strange but true even if a war was going on....one of the pecularities of Territorial soldiering at that time.
You should be able to view record if you can get on to ancestry at a library or you get a subscription
