I'm a bit puzzled by this chap. 

His medal card only lists him as 42380 Norfolk Regiment, but one of his pension cards also mentions 49151 Leicestershire Regiment, but I'm not clear whether the Leicesters was before or after the Norfolks. 

I thought that his Silver War Badge listing might help clear that up, but I can't find it. 

Can anyone help, please?

Thanks

The medal roll only lists the Norfolks as his Regt.
Added:
49151 Leics. belonged to a Percy Flint.

Thanks, yes I saw that.  Wish I could find the SWB listing, though

There is a way but you're not going to like it.
The roll entry is in book K/1843/1.
Now if you go to the SWB roll & click on any name & go to page 1
you will see the roll no. all you need to do is find the one you want.
Rather you than me.

It's missing!
Look at the little black box at the top for the number.

Arghhhhhhhhh 

That's the second one I have wanted in the last few week that's 'missing'. You have saved me a job though - I was going to look tomorrow, so now I know not to bother.

Thanks,  I owe you one!

If you need to do it again go to the SWB page & click
on Choose.
In the dropdown list look for Regt. If it's not there look by location.
I found the K series under Warley.

Here's the pension card that mentions 49151 Leicesters, but that's the only mention I can find of them, so whether it was before or after his Norfolks service, he obviously didn't go abroad with them. 

I'm guessing Leicesters before Norfolks - because the missing SWB listing is from the Norfolks section.  What do you think, please?

Thanks
