If nobody answers you Vito .... if you can wait for a bit ... they are coming on line through Ancestry !!  of course even though they are up to "H" there are still a lot missing .... mostly due to the blitz in WW2 however files that are known to be there - are missing from Ancestry also ..... so it's a case of sit and wait I'm afraid !! they do have some of the "burnt files " coming too but they won't be for a while !!

Approximately 5 million men served in the British Army in World War One (WWI). This database contains the surviving service records of non-commissioned officers and other ranks who served in WWI and did not re-enlist in the Army prior to World War II. With the second release, this database now contains records for surnames beginning A-H. Full surname range coverage will be realised with future releases. Names falling outside of this range that are presently included in the database come from records that were misfiled according to surname sequence.

Still waiting for my Massingham. Luckily grandad was an Abrahams.
It's so frustrating though.
