iainbrown5 Posted 30 August , 2008 Share Posted 30 August , 2008 Hi everyone, I recently came across my great grandfathers service record on the web. I thought I would never find out about what he did in WW1 as all I had to go by was a picture of him in uniform that didn't show any insignia. Also his name was Daniel Brown so fairly common surname. However I managed to get a service record by using his address on Ancestry.co.uk however I can't make sense of the record at all. I was wondering if someone could help. The corp is given as: 3/2 Lowd. f.a. Bd No. 801 If there is anyone that can help I have a copy of the service record I could email. Kind regards Iain Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantowi Posted 30 August , 2008 Share Posted 30 August , 2008 Hi Iain, Did it have a service number on the record ? Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainbrown5 Posted 31 August , 2008 Author Share Posted 31 August , 2008 Hi Grant, service number was the 801 number I think. Found a medal card for Daniel Brown with that number but it doesn't give any information. He had 2 service numbers on the card though. 801 and 686595 both for r.f.a.
