This is your man.He enlisted in 1915 with North Staffs Regiment.He went to France after Jan 1916 and sometime later in 1917 transferred to Labour Corps.
Will email you the Pension Record he applied for also.
He served in 3rd and 9th North Staffs before transfer.

Entitled to British War and Victory Medals.
Good result as only 30% of records survive you are lucky!

Hello mmm45,

Do you by any chance have anyone by the name of Joseph Gullon on your list ?

He was in the ASC and we believe he signed up in Bradford.

Many thanks

Hi Mary
He isnt on the list but it only contains lads who joined the 16th West Yorks Regiment.
If he lived in Bradford theres a good chance his details are on the City Roll in the library.
