Simon Cains Posted 19 September Share Posted 19 September A few months ago, I am sure I found a full service history with medical details for this man. I wrote down the details which agree with the brief summary on these pension cards. It said he had trouble exercising, they couldn't diagnose a medical cause but he was discharged in 1916. Now I can't find that service history anywhere ! I hope I didn't pick another man's record by mistake. I have rechecked Ancestry, Western Front records, and National Archives. If anyone can find it, please just tell me where, I know you aren't allowed to actually copy the record. Or suggest where else I should look. He didn't qualify for the CWGC. This is for a village history project researching all the men on a memorial plaque. Thanks very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid I don't subscribe so can't post direct links but: Ancestry Military Records - Just used search criteria first name "Joseph" surname "Edwards" anything "Berkshire 16807" and they are there under Pensions Records. FindMyPast - Search criteria optional keywords "Berkshire" and Soldier Number "16807" brings up:- Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
