John Findlay Sinclair
« on: Saturday 22 April 23 19:01 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for any ideas as to how I could track down someone after their discharge from the army. After two years, I finally got a copy of my great uncle's army records. He was a gunner in the Royal Artillery and was discharged in September 1934 after 12 years. The only address listed in the records was the family home in South Queensferry. I can't find any record of him in Scotland although there is another John Findley Sinclair listed but it is not him. My relative was born May 31st 1904. Any suggestions would be welcome.
