You're right Gareth
I think that was the regiment he was in for WW1 (he would have been 45 in 1914) Luckily he was one who came back

Hi Carol
have you tried the medal card indexes on National Archives website to see his medal entitlement or do you already have that, its £3.50 to download as a pdf file, maybe you have his medals and service no. off the side?

To be honest Gareth I never thought that his medal card would be there as he lived. In my naivety I thought it was just those killed who were listed on there.
His medals and everything were taken by other members of the family when he died. We think we know which family has them but they will not admit to it at all and change the subject whenever it is spoken about (probably a sign of guilt in itself)
Thanks for that though. I will have a look and see what I can find
