Many thanks to you all for collective help. Annette7 well done . I would never have found it. Just emphasises what I have been saying for ages - transcriptions are of limited use. Nothing like the original. T

Hi

Pleased you have found what you are looking for.

However how could Raymond born 1900 have served as a sergeant Ireland/Germany he was 14 when war started and 18 when it ended?  October 1917 he appears in Dental Register, working for Smith’s of Newport where he commenced work January 1916.


Perhaps his war service was in the Home Guard during 2nd world war.

He was conscripted very soon after leaving school having only a very short time at the dental business of A H Smith. He served in Ireland & Germany before going to Bristol University in, we believe, Autumn 1920. Not certain how I will find out the details of his very short military career. T
