Did you know his older brother John Thomas also served in the Lincolns. Pte. 1848. 11th Lincs, looks like they enlisted around the same time from their numbers on the form which lists all his kin the bit thats missing after Army Form is W 5080.

Thank you, I didn't know about John Thomas being in the same regiment. This is a great help. I couldn't find him in the Service records, but now I've got him in the Medal Roll documents. I'm still trying to puzzle through it...
