Good morning

Could anyone find any WW1 military records for the above please? He was supposedly in the Royal Horse and field artillery but I haven't managed to find any records for him.

Thanks very much

Jean

Hi Shirley

I do have his census records and he did survive the war and moved to Hull. I know that some records didn't survive. There are so many Henry Grahams on the Ancestry military records I was going bog eyed looking and sometimes new eyes spot things which have been missed.

Thanks

As only around 30% of WW1 records have survived, finding anyone's records is a matter of chance

Hi Reggie

Thanks for the information I wasn't aware it was so bad. I have been incredibly lucky up to now and always found the records i've looked for.

Best regards

Jean
