Lookup for military service details of Frederick Pow born 1894 **COMPLETED**
« on: Wednesday 05 March 08 11:45 GMT (UK) »
Frederick George Pow born in 1894 enlisted in the "DEVONS" Regiment in 1914?

His Regimental Number was 68830

I have his Medical Report from 1918 to 1922 when he was , I believe, discharged as unfit for military service.

Is there any other information available?

I take it you have the pages from his pension records on Ancestry??

Service Record pages with surname P arent online yet. :(

Yes I have got the pension records, from Ancestry.
Also the final award which was granted in November 1922. :)

Pity that the pages with surname P are not online yet :'(

ev,

That´s not the right one.

His father was Frederick George Pow who enlisted in 1890. Married Mary Cooper in Dec. 1894

He was in the Duke of Cornwall´s Light Infantry Regimental Number 3105

I have his details up to 1915 when he was a Special Reservist
