Thank you very much for the information, I have spent the afternoon reading through war diaries and am now planning a trip to Ypres!

Thank you for your help, it seems unlikely I’ll be able to obtain any more information then but it’s more than I knew before!
No one seemed aware he had been injured during the war so he obviously never spoke about it.

Thanks jim
I’ve been struggling to locate the exact locations of his regiment during the war.
This is the pension ledger but again im unsure as to what the codes and various dates mean, I had assumed from this he had been injured in August 1918.

World War One / Great grandfather in WW1

Good Evening
After much searching over the years I was excited to finally find some records of my great grandfathers service in the Great War. Sadly no service record appears to exist but I’ve located pension ledger, medal rolls index, absent voter and medal awards cards.
He appears to have been medically discharged a few months before the end of the war. I’m not sure if there are any further clues from the codes as to the nature of his affliction?
Also everything just states 1st london regiment, is this 1st battalion of that regiment?
If anyone can give me any more information I would be very grateful.

I’ve got a relative in the merchant navy in WW1 and relatives in the RN but I think it’s too far back for this photo? Any ideas of the time period?

Thanks for the assistance, I guess the birth just wasn’t registered.
The workhouse records show her mother Elizabeth absconding on 10/5/1899 and baby Annie being taken to what i believe is champion hill infirmary, does anyone know if they have records that can be accessed as to what may have happened to her afterwards?

Edward died in 1900, he was living at his sisters address.
Elizabeth appears in 1911 census apart from all of the children, she died in 1914, her daughter Louisa registers the death.
I’ve had difficulty locating the children after the neglect incident.
Robert, appears to be in a children’s home in Cheshire in 1901.
I believe Florence and Joseph are be living with an aunt in 1901.
The first Annie dies a few months before my relative Annie is born, I’ve been unable to locate her in 1901.
