Thanks for your assistance. Very much appreciated.

You've given my nephew lots of new stuff to research.

Thank you for the additional information it was very interesting and I've passed it on to my nephew.
 
With regards the obituary I wonder if you could say where the record can be found. I'm sure my nephew would wish to see the details.

Gwil you've identified the correct family on Ancestry.

As a matter of interest,
Lt. Peter J Keane was serving in WW2 with the Queen's Own Hussars.  He was attached to the Raiding Support Regiment (RSR) part of the Special Forces operation. He was killed in Greece Jan 1945.

Thanks for the added information.

Not knowing anything about forces records it leaves me scratching my head.

Where do I look for AJK's service record?
Will it still be with the MOD?
Is it possible to tell when he joined the Territorials?
Does the service record get passed on to some other organisation when you join the Territorials?
Is it possible to see the AJK obituary?

Sorry for being such a pain. I seem to have opened up a hornet's nest.

World War One / Army numbers

I am trying to trace my nephew's grandfather's army record. Can anybody help please?

He joined the RE as a sapper c.1914 and was allocated a number "22942"
 
He died still in service c 1937 as "RSM Arthur John KEANE" number unknown.

Apparently the army gave all serving members new numbers c. 1922

Can the new number be determined from the old, Please?

Thanks Benzol

Hertfordshire / Re: High Elms in Hitchen, 1939?

Hi I think High Elms is a footpath that runs between Bedford Road and Fishponds Road. There is a house called Elmside adjacent to the path. It would be worth looking at the OS 6inch maps held by the National Library of Scotland. The one of interest is Hertfordshire X11.NW 1938-1946

all the best Benzol

Thanks Tazzie
All grist to the mill. The bapts look spot on. Particularly the occupation of the father.
