DLI advice

Thanks to everyone for replying.

I am still very unclear to it all.

No I don't have any medals, I never knew him, he died before I was born.

I dont think he stayed on after 1920 as he said coal miner aswell on his marriage cert.

But, saying that, on the electoral registers for 1920 - 22 it said absent for James.  So maybe he did continue in the army.  But my Gran had two children during those years.  Very confusing.

I didn't realise this was as confusing as it is.

Thanks

i would be very tempted to apply to glasgow as if you were certain he stayed on and lets see their response )

you'll need to prove you are NOk or pay £30 for the privilege though

Hi Angela,

The form has a declaration.  I don't think harribobs meant "prove" in that respect

the absent voters register for 1920-22 usually has the names of soldiers who were serving as part of the army of occupation on the rhine,he would have been granted leave during this period,which would explain how he fathered two kiddies.
