Thanks for that i wasn't sure if i was reading it right.
He lived in the Hackney area of London which doesn't seem to be to far away from Stepney. So it seems to fit.
i would dearly like to find out more about him and possibly to find a picture.
I have just tried http://www.ww1photos.com/LondonRegt.html and alas his name isn't listed.
Have you any ideas where to try next.
Richard
