3 weeks ago I found service records in triplicate for the inglorious military career of Frank Wilson Clarke, pte 464653 in the CEF - over 30 pages replicated twice. I was using a cpmputer in France and I live in England. Sure it would be easy to access them again, I did not reference them; transcriptions are in France 1000 miles away! I have spent 3 hours today, searching in vain. I can find only 2 pages of attestation (correct), but there was page after page (most of it in hospitals dealing with pre-exiting conditions). If any kind soul could send me a link, I'd be so grateful. I do not transcribe to Ancestry or Findmypast worldwide. But these were free online.
Thank you in advance.

Unclear what that last bit means? You seem to have found his top level record with the 2 attestation pages and then the 70 odd pages of his complete record. What else is it you are looking for?

PS iluleah's post totally foxes me! Is it related to Jacqueline's or am I missing something obvious.

Thanks to Sandra - that's the one! Also iluleah for a good read. My poor F Great uncle Frank was a C4 so I doubt he'll figure in it very prominently.hatters. Always come up Trumps (oops, wash your mouth out with soap....)

Max, half of my last reply went off half baked, hence your puzzlement. Not sure if iluleah's offering is relevant yet but it would clearly be interesting to WW1 buffs and I don't like to be churlish when people take trouble. Sandra got it in2, so I'm happy. Still not sure what site it's on, though!
