Title: Dennis Forrest army numbers
Post by: janet62 on Thursday 22 September 11 16:48 BST (UK)
I have had lots of help from this site about my grandad in WW1 as no records found presumed burnt
I know he had 2 numbers in WW1 529 Northumberland Fusiliers and 39771 in the Gloucesters  both numbers on medal card
I have just found on FindMyPast some Attestation papers for the Militia  Dennis Forrest 6782 The Rifle Brigade date looks like 1904
Did think might be different person but when i check next of kin  his father and 3 brothers all had the right name  can someone please explain thankyou
