SteveE Posted 22 February , 2006 Share Posted 22 February , 2006 Hi Joyce and welcome to the forum. Judging by his age I think it unlikely that your GG Uncle served in the Great War and was more likely discharged prior to this, however this may be a positive result because it is more likely that his service record will have survived at the National Archives in the WO97 series. You will, however, need to go to the NA, Kew to view these records. If he was discharged between 1883-1900 then the reference is: WO97/2329 (covers surnames in range Bonn-Bookey). If he was discharged between 1900-1913 then there appear to be two references: WO97/4381 (covers surnames in range Bones-Book). WO97/6326 (covers surnames in range Bone-Brough). Hope this helps.
