Dazscuba Posted 11 February , 2022 Share Posted 11 February , 2022 I am looking at Pte 5068 Thomas Perry Kings Own Royal Lancaster Reg but can only find his Service Record which is not showing a lot, mainly front page and very limited on others. Can’t find any other record such as medals issued, medal index (even on NA) or any other record. I do have ancestry so can check on there if anybody can assist thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He attested 1896 thus with 12 years he was time expired. If he joined up in 1914 he would be given a new number.

AndrewSid Posted 11 February , 2022 Share Posted 11 February , 2022 Looking at the service record he would have been 37 in 1914. Not too old but certainly not first choice infantry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEW Posted 11 February , 2022 Share Posted 11 February , 2022 It's Ancestry's All UK, Military Campaign Medal and Award Rolls, 1793-1949. It appears to be a 1901 Clasp Roll for SA Medal which would only be QSA, I think. There maybe another roll mis-transcribed. TEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droberts Posted 12 February , 2022 Share Posted 12 February , 2022 Try searching ancestry pension ledgers and index cards using the birth date. Any middle name? Any home address? these could narrow your search. It is not an uncommon combination of names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His brother Henry Perry is named as NoK with an address as well George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie962 Posted 12 February , 2022 Share Posted 12 February , 2022 Daz, you still haven't clarified the starting point. I presume the name Perry is the starting point. Is it T or Thomas? Is it KORL? You seem to be looking for an older man, why? Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since then from others which I thank i have gained he joined in 1896 aged 19 For 12 years (which I did not know assumed it was a WW1 service record) my bad his NOK his brother Henry Kelly only other thing I know for sure is he lived in Stafford and possibly died that area in 1947 thank you all for looking and giving the info so far Edited 12 February , 2022 by Dazscuba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
