Service Record 2 World War

[iwccc]

Thanks magm, I will follow this up when I get a chance. Not sure why I typed that number as I know it is NX11278.  A big typo mistake on my part.  Thanks for your help.

According to the nominal roll he served with 2/12 Infantry Battalion.

You might like to search them for some general information while you wait for his records.

Thanks for that majm,  It is part of the frustration of research.  All is great though when you find what you are looking for.
Now on to where his battalion was and what battles they fought.  Any ideas of where to find this?
thanks for your help
