Around 70% of WW1 service records were destroyed
during the blitz so lucky if you find one.
However I'll take a look at what there is & check back.

The 1918 electoral roll has just 1 William Farr living in Hackney
but not listed as absent as men serving were.
What's his wife's name & was he married by 1918.

He Married Mary A Reader in Hackney September Quarter 1916
Had Son William Charles Thomas Farr in April 1917
And another Son Fred Leonard Farr in March Quarter 1919
So he was Home 9 months Earlier in June 1918
So unlikely he served Overseas if in the Forces
He would be the Only Eligible to Vote in 1918
