Recruiting in Forest in WW1 (General)

by Hilary, Wednesday, November 02, 2011, 15:31 (4773 days ago)

Does anyone have information where local Forest lads went to join up in WW1 ?

My father was, I think was an apprentice, with a Mr. Tuck a butcher in Chepstow when he enlisted for WW1 and under age, but I cannot find any records, which I understand were probably lost in the Blitz, but I might be able to find out through a Regiment, if there was one which was predominate in this area.

His name was Granville Harry Biddle (aka Pete), b, 1898 and I know his brothers Clement, Robert, Frederick, Thomas and John all joined up at intervals and all returned, only one of them with any major injury. I cannot trace any records for them apart from the obvious Census, b,m and deaths.

Can anyone offer any advice ?
