David and Jeff - many thanks for the links to the 13th Battalion's war diary, and to other threads on this forum. I'll have a proper read when I have some quiet time (about to take son to rugby tournament now!)

Paul - I do indeed have those two marriages already. The marriage to Beatrice Manley was my great-grandfather (his second marriage, but third relationship resulting in children). The marriage to June Jones was his son, also Oliver William.

I'm aware that the lack of MIC points to not having served overseas; he would have been aged 31 by the start of the war so perhaps a little older than average to be posted to the front-line. Anyhow I'll add details as I have them; thanks to all once again.

Jane
