Pat Pepper Posted 2 December , 2018 Share Posted 2 December , 2018 Please would someone help with information about this soldier. I can only find a regimental roll from 1922 and can't seem to find any other information about him, i.e his service records. The details I have is Private Charles Miles Born 1888 Pluckley Kent. I have his regimental number as 6278123 The Buffs. However on the regimental roll it gives his regiment as Queens Royal West Sussex. I have a copy of his marriage certificate from January 1918 in Ticehurst Sussex. He is shown as Private 8th Btn The Buffs. I can't quite make out his regimental number on this I think it is 3298 or 8298. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction please.
