« on: Wednesday 14 November 18 17:07 GMT (UK) »
Hi
i am trying to find information on my late father in laws army service . I have searched Forces War Records but he does not get a mention .
Name : Thomas Lord : D.O.B. 7/8/1916 : Manchester
Rank : Private 3389583
I have his soldiers service & pay book ( poor condition ) And Know only the following details :
Enlisted at Squires Gate 18/3/1940
Served with 5 East Lancs & 13 Btn Kings Reg and also was in the Paras .
I have a photo of him taken in Karachi 1945/1946 in his uniform shirt depicting Kings epaulettes ,
Para Wings above the shirt pocket and sleeve badges depicting a felucca .
I would very much like to get hold of some information of where and when he served .

MaxD : As you can see i am struggling with this site .
Thanks very much for the Helpful info , I was surprised to find that he did not serve overseas until after the end of 1915 however i have been told that he was in the 3rd battalion of the MGC .
Many Thanks for your time and effort

« on: Saturday 20 October 18 13:12 BST (UK) »Jomot - good find, well done indeed. The OP has not seen my earlier poor input so I have deleted it. My research team has been sacked (he is only 11, he'll get over it),
moonshine 44. The badly damaged record that Jomot has found adds just a little to out knowledge. Your man did not serve overseas until after the end of 1915 and the 6th Battalion East Lancs went to Mespotamia in Feb 1916. The record does not show which battalion of the MGC he transferred into in Sep 1918.
That said, there is another record for a Great Harwood man aged 18 years 2 months in June 1889 serving in the East Lancs from 1889 to 1910 could this be the same Thomas Parkinson? Father George Parkinson, 3 brothers and a sister.
