Yes Thanks Sandra for your Input  - the Family have that and are going out next week.

But knew he was Wounded somewhere 16 April 1916 and awarded Wounded Stripe but want to know why and where.
But the History of the King's shows the 13th King's weren't in Action iin April 1916 to be Wounded.
Confused.

Hmmm can see nothing listed for that date. Maybe 16 th August 1916

I can't see anything in the casualty lists -- only 4th June 1918 to list his death.

Here’s some info. on wounded stripes

To qualify a serviceman had to have been listed in a casualty list as “Wounded” or “Wounded – Gas” for example"…………

The first wound stripes were issued in Brass in 1916………
