ARMY CYCLE CORPS

Hi Vintage Brummie, my G'Father started army life in the ACC but then appears to have been transfered to 10th Worcs Rgt and his number was changed from 5457 to 42697, I had thought 19th Div Co ACC was part of Worcs but seems I was wrong, he was discharged due to wounds 12.4.18. Unfortunatly his service record did not survive WW2, my mother tells me he lost a leg in 1918 so I was hoping to find him in the Army pension records but have had no luck. Will keep looking. best of luck

Steve, try searching WW1 Army records under ARMY CYCLIST CORPS you might have better luck.
