Thanks all for the help and suggestions.

It appears that there is no service record for him, but I do have details of an injury that occurred in France in 1916.  It also appears that he was one of 9 men awarded the Russian Silver Medal of Zeal with St Anne Ribbon for service in the Allied intervention in Russia.

Thanks, John915.  That is brilliant information. There were definitely at least a couple of Rifles in amongst the medal cards that I saw.  I'll look more deeply into those ones first.

I am trying to identify the regiment that my Grandfather, Reginald Albert Fisher, was in.  The only photo I have of him in uniform was on the day of his marriage on 5th November 1921 in Holy Trinity Church, St Pancras, which is attached.  His marriage certificate states that his profession at the time was a Tailor. 

There are a large number of different Reginald Fisher's medal record cards, but I don't know which one is him.  He was born on 8th July 1897 in Kingston on Thames, Surrey.  All residence records that I can find show him in Kingston up to and including the 1911 census.  I can't find any WW1 military records for him, so I am at a loss to know which regiment that he was in.  Sorry that the photo is such poor quality, but that is all I have.

Thanks all for your help and suggestions.

Some of it definitely fits, so IO will use that information.

Thanks again.

Hi all

I am very fortunate to have the WW1 war diary of my great uncle from his time on HMS Falmouth.  There are a couple of pages where the writing is very faded and I wondered whether it is possible for others to assist in identifying any information.

I have attached a scan of the page.  Obviously the bottom of the right hand page is readable, but there is faint writing on the rest of these 2 pages.  It is not from susbsequent writing on the back of the corresponding pages.

I can make out that the top of the right hand page says "HMS Falmouth football matches for July" so I think it will be details of various matches as shown at the bottom of the page.

Any help would be appreciated.
