No records seem to have survived, medal card = BWM and Victory Medal. Born 1886 lived 33 Newton St with wife Annie and daughter Florrie, he was a carter at the railway station.

Cheers for the info , spent ages searching for records on the off chance they survived ,the purpose for the research is that i hold his bwm and vic medals , good to have clarification from others more experienced than i

Everything helps, good to know his medals are safe and sound with someone who cares. Research would be a lot easier if all the service records had survived the blitz, but that's another story. Good hunting. Ralph.

He married Annie Lezemore in 1908 St Oswald.Florrie was born in 1910.
