Hi Sniper ! He was Gazetted 9th December 1914 ..... but it doesn't give details I'm afraid .... http://www.gazettes-online.co.uk/issues/29001/supplements/10542/page.pdf It's possible it maybe in the War Diary .... have you tried there already ? Annie EDIT ........ One of the guys on another forum I frequent - suggests you try the curator of Kings Own Royal Lancaster Museum in Lancaster, apparently he is very helpful in filling in missing details.
Hi Annie, Thanks for the info but i have gone down these avenues and not really got much from there. Am going to try the IWM in the next few weeks. Sniper
