World War One / Re: Searching For John Curtin, Irish Guards

Well, Great Uncle John has gotten a bit sidelined for now...but I'm very grateful for all the inputs regarding my Grandad James. I have learnt a lot. I have now downloaded the War Diaries for 33 Brigade, 155 & 156 Brigades RFA. Which should cover his service in the Great War. (156 is also mentioned in his records). Should be an interesting read.
Jim1...I think the 'Base 33/33' reference on his record is for 33 Battery/33 Brigade. 33 Brigade at the time had 32, 33 & 36 Batteries.
Thanks again for all the inputs, I would never have found out about the POW records without your help.
I'll keep on searching for info on his long lost brother John.
