World War One / George Henry Austin
« on: Thursday 15 September 11 12:33 BST (UK) »
Looking for some help researching my great great Grandad. He was born in Shoreham-by-Sea in 1879. Following up family stories I have looked up some war records and found that he served in World War One. This is where he gets confusing (for me), I believe he served in the 495th Heavy Battery Royal Garrison which I think is the North Somerset Yeomanry? Then I found that he also served in the West Riding Royal Garrison Artillery. Firstly, does anyone know why he would serve in a Somerset and Yorkshire regiment when he came from Sussex. Furthermore, how I would be able to find out more information such as service records.
Many Thanks in advance.
