Ken Wayman Posted 16 March , 2009 Share Posted 16 March , 2009 Hi Pete Found a bit on his MIC:- His number was S/6310. Landed in France on 10th May 1915 Was awarded the 14-15 Star, BWM and VM Was demobbed to reserve, Class 'Z', on 28th February 1919. There are no papers in either the Army Pensions of the Burnt Papers - the latter haven't reached 'S' yet. Best of luck Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
