Hi jim,
This is certainly a brick wall, how many George alberts is there. I have found another one George Albert Saunders service no 62746 1917 machine gun corps, how can I find out if this one is right. I feel like I am going round in circles. Thankyou

Hi Jim,
I went on the national archives site and saw George albert saunders no 145080 ref no 372/17/172460, they have the service medal and award rolls index there, but couldn't get into the site to see if it was my George saunders, I might be wrong but I think the records are at Kew. Do you know how I could see the records.
Thankyou
Lynne

Hi Jim,
That's right my granddad led the charge after his officer Captain Walford was wounded They set up machine gun fire to drown the noise of tanks coming and also for covering fire.I think the photo of George albert saunders in his uniform was taken for his mom before going to war. Well the only thing I have is a picture of a badge on a cap for George albert saunders. How do you think I can check his army career.

Hi Jim,
I am a bit confused, the postcard picture is of George albert saunders. Do you have access to old newspapers my granddad is featured in the evening mail special dated 31 march 1997. My aunt wrote to Worcs Reg and got his war history and mailed it to my father in Perth w.a. I have a copy of a form for my granddad it has got T.F.W.M. Worc R/T.F.M. page 20 he is down as a private and was made a corporal later he was at Landrecies. As for uncle George I don't know if he was called up or enlisted and if he enlisted where he went to do so. I am a bit lost with Uncle George and his war history. Granddad and Uncle George both lived in Birmingham. I hope I have answered your questions. Thankyou
regards

Hi Jim,
I don't know of the lists your talking about I am a senior and self Taught on the computer, so I don't understand some sites. About my Grandad his army no is 240220, he was in the 1/8th batt Worcs, I have all his war history from Worcs Reg, I also have newspaper clipping and a picture of my Grandad getting the D.C.M. from King George and Queen Mary, my granddad was a corporal in the army and I now have copies of his medals. Looking at the list you sent me the only one I can see would be George Albert Saunders 145080, but according to my father and aunt the family couldn't decide their surname Saunders or Sanders, but on Georges birth cert it says Saunders also on the census. My granddad was born in 1897 and George was born 1899abt so there is only a couple of years between them, I am wondering if George was in the worcs reg as my granddad was and also his uncle Jabez. Don't know if any of this will help you.
Thankyou
Regards
Lynne

Hi Jim,
It looks very much like the second one well done, I have had the eye glass to magnify it and it looks  very much like the second one the machine gun corps. Thankyou so much.
