Captain Joseph Ellis Milne RAMC KIA Feb 22, 1917

Have been trying to find if officer papers exist for the above officer, with Kew not being all that helpful. I am unclear as to whether RAMC RMO were granted standard commissions and whether officer papers existed for these individuals? Any guidance? Thanks

I am reminded of something on the same lines recently,but can't put a topic to it. I posted that I couldn't find any record for an RAMC officer and (I have an idea it may have been SPOF ? apologies if not,that man !) a reply came that RAMC records were not available after war's end.

Edit: now looked and found a thread on this Forum on the subject. You want showtopic=191797 of July 2013, though this prob wasn't the one I looked at.

As sotonmate says, papers for RAMC officers on war service only or temporary commissions were destroyed bteween the wars. IF he signed up as a regular, it SHOULD still be around but probably with the MoD.
