Hello all, I'm Jules and I have been researching my Grandad's Army Service Record. Most of my research to date has been the WW2 period. It was a member from a ww2 forum who told me about this Birmingham History Forum and that I may be able to get some help here.
My Grandad was born in Smethwick in August 1908 and joined the RAOC in 1929 at an army recruiting office in Birmingham. I was hoping to find the location of this office and was told there was one in Suffolk Street during WW1.
Does anyone here know if there was more than one recruiting office in Birmingham in 1929 and, if not, was the office in Suffolk Street being used that year?
Thank you for reading this post and hopefully someone here can help. Any info would be very much appreciated.
Regards,
Jules.
