evening everyone

i know this is a long shot but i'm still researching my man

w carter 86390176 tunnelling coy

1192 2nd/A/S Highlanders

iv'e read pages (and pages) of war dairies got medal cards ,found out that he was discharged due to sickness etc etc

but i can't find out where William was from and/or born i've been on the 1901 cenus but i didn't really have enough info to narrow down my search about 350 w.carters came up.(Am i doing the right thing i thought if i could find out were he was from i could find out were he went on discharge and his life and the war until his death I am aware that i asking a lot !!)is there any where else i should be looking/or doing

any ideas

Try the Regimental Museum and Archives at Stirling Castle.

They may want a small charge for any research done to find your man.

Best wishes

Do you know if his service record is held at the NA? If so, the answers will be there.
