What a great reply and so fast!!

I have tried Ancestry and National Archives, but I will have to start by trying more advance searches. Unfortunately he was demobbed by the time he was married in 1923.

I am going to London shortly and thought I might make a trio to Kew and see if I can turn up something more there. Its strange that I have found nothing on any of the brothers, surely there should be records of medals presented to all serving soldiers at the end of the war.

Yes you have the right person........my father, I was an afterthought in the marriage after two sisters 16 and 19 years before, so he is the age my grandfather might be, and I did not ask enough questions when he was alive. Does anyone I wonder ?

I will keep you posted.

Thanks and regards Hilary
