2nd Bn Duke of Wellington’s Enlistment Date via Service Number

[Gunner R.A.]

I have a soldier who had enlisted in the 2nd Bn Duke of Wellingtons (West Riding Regt.) with the service number 13468

Could anyone please give me a precise enlistment date for him, or at least narrow it down?

Any help gratefully appreciated.

Thank you,

Pete.
