Simon Warren Posted 19 March Share Posted 19 March Hello I wonder if you can help me ? I am looking into Alfred Francis Eagle Born Abingdon 1882 and on the 1921 Folkestone census he is named as discharged , injured soldier aged 38 . Do any of you know which regiment and what might have happened to him . Thank you so much Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin DavidOwen Posted 19 March Admin Share Posted 19 March It appears he was discharged wounded as per his award of the Silver War Badge (courtesy FMP) This tells us he was a Gunner in 231 Brigade Royal Field Artillery.

Matlock1418 Posted 19 March Share Posted 19 March (edited) OK folks that server issue made it look like I had posted in invisible ink before I had even started! So here I go again ... This is a pension index card for a disability claim Image thanks to WFA/Fold3 Dicharged 2.8.18 he was awarded 27/6 pw from 3.8.18 to 4.2.19 [Under the 1918 Royal Warrant that quantum was the 100% disability rate for a pension Class V soldier/Pte without child(ren) - not that uncommon to have a six month award whilst they sorted matters out/saw how he hopefully recovered] We can see he also made an APD [Alternative Pension Disability] - this would aim to be a higher quantum based on proven pre-war/service earnings However I have not [yet?] found another record M Edited 19 March by Matlock1418 complet my intended post complet with typo! Now sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 19 March Share Posted 19 March Maybe this is his death - the age is a year or two out, but right part of the world, and the only Alfred F. Eagle death after 1920.

Simon Warren Posted 27 March Author Share Posted 27 March Hi Guys Having scoured the records I cannot seem to find at what location or battle Alfred was injured . Any more help would be wonderful . Ps he was still alive and living in Folkestone when 1921 census was taken . Thank you Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianmorris547 Posted 27 March Share Posted 27 March Only one hit in the Folkstone Papers. From April 1914 a man with the same name as a member of a Jury. BNA via FMP Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
