I have been trying to locate my grandfathers military service record with much dissapointment, I am hoping that someone on Accy Web can help me;(RETLAW!) please get your thinking cap on.
The above named gentleman was born in 1889 and I believe that he served in Ishmailia in Egypt just prior to or maybe during the first world war, if conscription was in force at the time then he maybe served in Egypt from being called up at the age of 18 in 1907.
Unfortunatly I don't know his regiment or service number, any help would be much appreciated.
Your's as ever, stay happy; Taddy
