RAMSDEN Frank Edwards Sherinham Norfolk Coastal Protection

[Jean M]

Morning searchers,

Seek a helping hand to confirm my grandfather’s military service.
Born August 1877 Tenterden, Kent
 Had married and suggest his enlistment therefore after June 1916.
Survived the conflict and is listed in Census 1921 Silvertown, London E.
Few clues except Sheringham, Norfolk for duties or period of
convalescence.
Replies most welcome

Public tree(s) on Ancestry suggest that he was a Gunner in the Royal Garrison Artillery, 176702. Army records have not survived, other than medal roll entry and index card.

ShaunJ  thank you for your reply

I have found the digital image of Medal Card 176702
Unfortunately it shows Gunner  Frank G RAMSDEN
Grandfather’s Middle name was EDWARDS.
He also served in the local Home Guard WW2

Your help much appreciated

On the medal roll he's Frank Edward Ramsden.

RGA would tie in with coastal protection

Will take a further search and  let you know.
