Hi jan
It looks like he had three different regimental No's, this one says enlisted at 17, one must have been 20 and in Sherwood foresters in 1921. All this is news to me
Teresa

He must have reenlisted as he didn't get retired as unfit until 1922

Off to bed in a bit! If no-one else manages it get in touch in a day or two and I'll send the rest.

Hi Jan, can only look at two of those images, ancestry wont let me look at others, it just asks me to join!!
Thanks for your time anyway.
Goodnight, talk again soon.
Teresa

Hi Lindsey.
Thank-you for looking, couldn't see the images jan sent though.

With so much stuff I would consider taking out a free 2-week trial just for this. Just remember to cancel in good time.
