The John Fox whose records I sent you was discharged finally in March 1920. His age does vary. When he first joined the Army in 1887 his age is given as 19 (YOB 1868) but when he was called up in 1914 it is given as 42 (YOB 1872). |

The army records on Ancestry are the ones from the National Archives at Kew - they might have other regimental records for the Royal Munster Fusiliers, his first regiment. WW1 he appears to have been in the Labour Corps. Or their may be regimental museum. |
