WW1 service record help needed please ... COMPLETED NOW
« on: Tuesday 30 July 13 15:57 BST (UK) »
Hi, can some kind soul help me please ?  I was sent the following info. way back in 1993 in the days when you could send proof of who you are plus a fee etc. to the MOD in Middlesex.  It's been filed away until now !!

I'm trying to find any original records I can download of his service.  I have his medal card.

This is what the MOD sent in their letter back then.....

28324 (formerly 34786) Private George William Mason.  Oxford & Bucks Light Infantry.

Enlisted into the Kings Royal Rifles for the duration of the war and was issued with the service number 34786  -  date 30.11.1916

Transferred to Oxford & Bucks Light Infantry  -  date not recorded

Posted to No. 1 Reserve Battalion  -  date not recorded

Transferred to Oxford & Bucks L.I.  Depot  -  27.12.18

Transferred to Class 'Z'  Army Reserve on demobilisation  19.3.19

Overseas service..

India  6.5.17  to  27.5.17

Mesopotamia  5.6.17  to  10.8.17

India  18.8.17  to  20.1.19

I hope someone can make sense of it and point me in the right direction.

Thankyou for looking.
