Thanks all, I was just trying to find out some information on my maternal grandfather who I know was gassed in WW1 and have just been given a photo of him I’d never seen and it shows a wound stripe, as I say I knew he’d been gassed and I’ve a picture of him with out the stripe so guessing taken before and I’ve a group picture with him in his Kitchener Blues which is really special to me as it’s showing them all with the then world famous singer Marie Lloyd ( her of “My Old Man said follow the van” fame ) also signed “ to my boys love Marie Lloyd “ and I’ve been searching to try & find any information on his wound ( gassed) place, time etc , unfortunately I’ve never been able to find his military records so I’m guessing it was one of those lost in the blitz of WW11 that damaged so many records so hence my original question but as has been eluded to there may not be any specific records kept in-depth in regards to WW1 wounds ?? I’ll keep the search going , one day hopefully.

Gerard
