Hi Roger, he entered the service in 1899, and continued into 1918 before his death at the age of 43. I'm assuming because, being a foreman shunter on a coal line (Foxes Bridge, near Lydney) that he was exempted from war service. He may have served and came back early. I wonder what his local regiment would've been otherwise.
