Gavin,

I can't see anything on the info you've given.

Do you have an idea of when and where he was born and where he lived.

It would be worth another check based on those, in case he had previous service with other than the MGC, although it is unlikely having already got his full name.

Born in Mountain Ash Oct 15th 1888 and lived there.

Prior to the MGC he was in London Scottish 517146

Nothing that I can see Gavin.

How did he get to be in the London Scottish?

thanks anyway Phil. it is a long story. He joined to look after his wife's younger brother. They were both Welsh speaking  Welshmen, so it is puzzling.
when he got to France his brother in law was already dead. But seeems to have left LS anyway. Looks like he died as a member of the London rifle Brigade (17th)
his name was Eddie Samuel Morgan, and was the subject of a different thread.
