butely Posted 9 October , 2013 Share Posted 9 October , 2013 I am looking for any information On Albert Henry Selwood. Born 1884 in Downend near Bristol. When married in 1905 he is a Sergeant in the Grenadier guards. In 1911 he is a Police Constable in Southwick near Trowbridge. When did he join the Grenadier guards and did he re-inlist during the First great war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Lees Posted 9 October , 2013 Share Posted 9 October , 2013 There was an Albert H Selwood in the Grenadier Guards in WW1. His service number was 9734 and he went to France on 27th October, 1915 with the rank of Acting Sergeant. The HQ of the Grenadier Guards, Birdcage Walk, London, will let you have a copy of his service record - for a fee. I hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
