 8) Cool

The search has been a pleasure, I look forward to hearing from Cam  with hopefully more news. I've been family-treeing it too today, but I'm pretty hopeless at that side, I keep going off in a tangent and get nowhere.  ???

I'll have to send you an army photo of my father-in-law to identify.  Got a feeling it's the same regiment at the Captain.

Hi Eileen

That would be good to see the photo.  If I can't help you, there will be others on here who can.  ;)

Well here it is then Anne.  David gorman was born in 1894.  It would be interesting to know if he served in 1914/18.

Hi

If the photo is your father-in-law it depicts an Argyll and Sutherland Highlander, in what looks like brand new issue uniform for the time.

There is a medal card for David Gorman in WW1, see link below.  The medal card tells you David was a Private soldier in the Argylls, Regimental No 5420.  Then later he was a Lance Corporal in the Labour Corp where he has two numbers.  The first number 446667 and the second is 16684. You can download the medal card document for £3.50

Thanks Anne.  That is very interesting.  There's not many of the family left and nobody seems to know anything.  I'll go to that site and download the medal card.  That's another story for my family book.  I'll have to put some more pages in. ha ha.
Thanks again.....you're a treasure. ;D

Hi Eileen

If you get the medal card, it would be good if you share the contents with us, only if you wish to, of course.

Only too pleased to Anne.  At the moment I'm having trouble with the site.
I'll let you know when I manage to get it.

It took me a while to sort it all out Anne but finally managed to down-load document.
There were 6 on the page, so here's what I could make out for the regiment you found him in.
David Gorman   A & S High.   Pte.   5420
                          Lab. corps.  L/C     446667

Medal                 Roll               Remarks. 
Victory                L/C101         C1 "Z"  11/2/19
British                  --DO--
Star                     L/C91           

Theatre of war first served in France
Date of entry therein.  19-9-15

Written in hand before the printed word Star was the number 15.
 I can't say that I know what it all means, but nice to see.

Thanks very much for your help in this Anne.
