Army Service Records Before WW1
« on: Monday 07 May 12 23:45 BST (UK) »
Hi

I am looking for a relative, George Young, who was born in Reading Berkshire.  I have his WW1 service records in which he states that his previous military service was with the Royal Berks Regiment 2nd Batallion.  I also have a 1911 census for a George Young in India which states that he was married. 

I have a family member who says that he served in India and some of his children were born there so it is likely I have the correct person.

My question is, is there any records or sites where I can get more information, ie service records for his army career before he rejoined in 1915 and birth records for any children?

Many thanks
Louise
