Where would this service record be held?

[Dragoon]

Hello all, I've trawled through Ancestry and cannot find my Great Grandfather, 3646 B S M William Brown RFA service record, so i assumed it would have been one destroyed during WW2. Then looking at his Attestation on Find my past i see he did not leave until 25/1/1921, does this mean his record may be held by the M O D?

Thank you for your time

Hi Dragoon

If you scroll through the various spreadsheets available from links in this thread, you may find him there

If you do, please send thanks to member justin who did a lot of hard work to get this information.

I do not have a FMP subscription but I do have an Ancestry one. I'm intrigued as to which database has his attestation but not his record?

When Justin posted that brilliant thread I downloaded all the files for my own research. One of the files I created from the downloads is the whole lot in name order. I'll gladly extract the Brown W ones for you if you want to send me your email via PM. I don't proffess to know what all the refrences mean on them so if you find a possible then you can query it on that thread maybe? There are a lot though and then even more with another Christian name but dates of birth are given.

Hi

FMP has Royal Artillery attestation 1883-1942 records, not on Ancestry.
