codge01 Posted 22 September , 2012 Share Posted 22 September , 2012 Hello all. I'm asking for help in trying to find any military information i.e Service, Pension, Medal Index etc if there are any still available/ survived. The information I require is for my Grand Uncle - Alfred James Greening b. 24/5/1896 Hammersmith, London. The only information I have is from his marriage certificate, dated 3/12/1917, this states his occupation as a - Bombadier RFA. He did survive the war and ended up working as a GWR Vangaurd in the Paddington area (see photo which seems to show a WW1 medal trio). Thank you all.

Admin spof Posted 22 September , 2012 Admin Share Posted 22 September , 2012 That Labour Corps number, according to No Labour No Battle, was assigned to LC men mainly in 1919 for exhumation and reburial work on the old battlefields so he probably stayed in the RFA for his whole service in the war.
