What do you want to know from it?

British Army WWI Pension Records 1914-1920

Estimated Birth Year: abt 1879
Age at enlistment: 36
Document Year: 1915
Regimental Number: 30416

There are 10 pages so it's too much to copy and send or to attempt to transcribe in total.

Well yes, but as I say there's too much to copy down completely.

If you take out a free trial on Ancestry you could view the original and save the images to your computer. (Just remember to cancel the membership before they take a payment).

He was an insurance agent, he married Dorinda Bully (??) 21 May 1904. Had a son Eric William Jan 1909 ?? (The writing is bad)

It doesn't give any details of where he was posted to or served. He was discharged 1917.
