He appears to have been born in Birkenhead on the 6th of August 1896 and is certainly shown in WO372 as 3089 Acting Corporal Machine Gun Corps and 20735 Royal Lancaster Regiment and interestingly, Sgt Machine Gun Corps on Prenton War memorial
Generally speaking, if no papers can be found in WO363 or WO364 at Kew, then they are very unlikely to remain extant today.
I looked at his entry in WO329 and he shown as Lionel Alfred Yarlett in respect of his BWM/AVM pair from the MGC, with a note stating he joined the Z class Army Reserve upon the 12th of August 1919 and he appears to have married in 1921.
The 1939 register shows him as a married Shipyard worker and living at number 26 Seymour Street Birkenhead.
Is he a family member or do you have his medals, or perhaps just another point of interest?
