apwright Posted 27 June , 2008 Share Posted 27 June , 2008 His death registration: BAYLEY, Richard J, T.Lt., Lab Corps, 1919, O.7 65 He is possibly Richard Joseph BAYLEY, ex 4614 Honourable Artillery Company. His MIC on Ancestry says "Comm[issioned?] Lab Corp 18/8/17. This man also has several pages in the Service Records, but it is mainly his medical history from the HAC (he was wounded several times). There's no mention of Labour Corps. At his medical exam on enlistment on 27/10/15 his declared age was 19 yrs 8 days, so his birth registration might be the following: Births Q2 1896 in Chorlton - BAYLEY Richard Joseph (8c 739) Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
