CG transferred all their service record files to MOD a couple of years ago and MOD are in the process of transferring the files to UK National Archives. If you apply to MOD they will do a search for free and either let you know that they still have his file and quote the fee or signpost you to UK NA where you ought to make a request under Freedom of Information Act for its release - again a fee will be charged. https://www.gov.uk/get-copy-military-records-of-service/apply-for-the-records-of-a-deceased-serviceperson About the same time CG made some records available on findmypast site so you will likely find his enlistment register entry there (likely a 1909/1910 enlistment from his regimental number). Good Luck Steve Edited 7 September , 2023 by tullybrone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
