A soldier with a very interesting WW1 service.
Enlisted in June, 1908 served in France 1914/1915, wounded in 1914 and court martialled December, 1915. Transferred to the Labour Corp. instead of serving 18 months detention? Discharged in March, 1919 suffering from Malaria and issued with a silver wound badge and pension.
Trying to fill in his life.
Born Q1 1887 Aston, Birmingham. When he enlisted in June, 1908 he stated he was 21 yrs 10 mths.
1891 Census he is living at 6 Mt Pleasant Grove, Aston.
1901 Census living at 12 Mount Pleasant Grove, Aston.
1911 Census in India with the 2nd Battalion, Worcestershire R.
1919 discharge papers records him living at 91 Francis Rd, Haymills, Yardley.
Then he appears to disappear.
If anyone can either find where he goes or can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.
Thank you,
David
