WW1 POW ?
« on: Tuesday 28 November 23 17:09 GMT (UK) »
Pte 359857 Cecil Langton Rennard of 10th Scottish King's Liverpool Regt
Enlisted 5 April 1917
Discharged Wounded 23 May 1919 with Silver War Badge number B238942

The Family have just informed me that he was a German POW he had a leg amputated which saved his life.

But I can't find him on Grandeguerre

Nor can I find his Disability Pension Card

Luckily Genies here have better Searching Skills than me, 

Anything appreciated.

That's Brilliant Hanes
His Son will appreciate these things the Family never knew about.
Would there be a Disability Pension Card?

Cheers Boo

I tried twice on Ancestry with Fold 3 with his Number and got nothing even though I knew there must be something there.

One of these Pension Cards shows he was declared Dead in December 1917 I suppose his Wife got a Shock when he returned home in 1919

When he was Aged 71 he had a Son who is now a Member in our King's Forum
