Hi Darren

Just to add  :)

His medal card is available, although not sure what other info it'll give that mack has not already provided. 

http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/details-result.asp?Edoc_Id=5537302&queryType=1&resultcount=5

Also you could apply for his death certificate if you so wished from the GRO Overseas section.

Many thanks to you all for your help.  One question to you Mack, how do you know that the family at one time lived at 21 Ann Street in Brighton?  I had always assumed they were a born and bred Eastbourne family.

Regards and thanks again
