Hi Chaps,

Has anyone got any thing on this fellow?

He joined the Wiltshire regiment (the 1st I belive) and then got a commission to the East Surry regiment (I think)

I have him down as being killed, but can't find a record of this.

Any help or directions appreciated

WO339/58285 ; 67543 and 89563.

Nothing in WO374.

Cheers Edwin.

Anyone got a record of his death?

According to the ROH he was KIA, but I cant see him on CWGC nor SWGW.

Just searched via Geoff's search engine - input only 'Barton'. 483 results - I looked at all the 'E's but no matches I'm afraid.
