Service record for a Frank Pepper
« on: Tuesday 14 August 18 09:09 BST (UK) »
Hello,

Can anyone see if anything survives for:

Frank Pepper, sergeant in the Buffs, service number 200348 according to the absent voter list. I can see a medal index card, but it ends in 5 not 8. I very highly doubt it’s my 2x great-grandad (aged 41 when war commenced) but the family did live in the Southwark area at one stage, and were living in what was then Kent in 1911.

I’d appreciate any help!

Was your man born in Fermoy Ireland 1893 (ish) - 200345 was.  Was in Margate in 1914.  Lived in Kennington Park after the war.  Spent the whole war in India.  Next of kin given as his fiancée Miss E Lonsdale.
That record on FindMyPast.

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

Can you see if you can find any service records for men (specifically enlistment dates) in the Middlesex Regiment with the following service numbers (I have viewed medal cards already):

Any before PW/5040 (up to PW/5030)
PW/5041
PW/5043
Any after PW/5043 (up to PW/5050)
Edit: I know their battalions already.

As you know we are always willing to help but if you are able to call up medal cards and medal rolls, is there a reason why you can't do this yourself?

I don’t have FindMyPast so I can only see medal rolls.

It is possible to search FindMyPast without a subscription, you can see an index of the records they have for a Frank Pepper often showing an approx birth year and place of birth.  You can also put the regiment into your search
