sandie,if its true about him going in the army in 1918 and invalided out in 1927/28,then hes signed up as a regular,by this time hes done at least 9 years,BUT he signed up young,his service doesnt count till hes 18 all service before that will be as a boy soldier,at 17 and a half,he will be paid as a man,he wont see a penny of his first mans pay because his sergeant will take it off him,and that will go over the bar for a drink for those in his section,elfryn will do the same to the next youngster,its a sort of unknown tradition,i cant tell you where he was wounded,i know it was kicking off in the middle east,there were all sorts of mini conflicts going on,try the pensions records,i think his records are still with the army,mack
