Thankyou for the info, I have a family tree website, but this extra stuff is very helpful. I have Arthur Charles Welham living in Moorside road, Yardley Wood in 1929 but prior that date I am having no luck. As I said he did enlist from Birmingham and in 1916 he went on leave again somewhere in Birmingham.
