Thanks Iria, that one does look promising doesn't it. Unfortunately the "J" in that names is a "John". I had someone look at the medal rolls for that one. At the time, it was the closest match I could find.
I've also checked a number of "Harris" leads as Annie had pointed out and there were a couple that looked like mine but again, when I checked the medal rolls (or in one case, the pension records) it was obvious that it wasn't my Harries.
The records I have are pension records. The duplicate copy of his Attestation form says nothing about a previous number or service before the war started. He enlisted 1 May 1915 at Ormskirk and was assigned to the ASC Remount Division. He remained with the remounts until 11 Jan 1920. There is a casualty form in his records (Form B 103) that gives an account of where and when he was stationed and when he was promoted. But it says nothing of overseas service. On a disability form he even claimed he was in England the entire time.
Even if he didn't go overseas, he should have been entitled to a BWM and Vic (I believe). But what I really want to find is evidence of a Star. In post war pictures of him in uniform I can easily make out the trio. And he used to say he did go to France for a time.
Thanks everyone for looking...
