SSherry78 Posted 13 December , 2017 Posted 13 December , 2017 Hello, Im looking for service information for Michael Sherry who was my Grandfather's cousin. I did have some information on his WW1 pension record a while back on Ancestry but for some reason I cant find it in the search. His DOB was 31st March 1898 in Holytown, Lanarkshire, Scotland. Thanks in advance.
HolymoleyRE Posted 13 December , 2017 Posted 13 December , 2017 Hi SSherry, Parents James and Annie, if so Cpl 240557 (2875) Michael Sherry 5/6th Btn (Cameronians) Scottish Rifles. The very detailed service records are on FindMyPast...but at the moment seem hidden on Ancestry as you say... Andy
