Leigh and All- this is quite incredible! Thank you all so much. Can I just ask how we can be sure that these records are for our grndfather Alec Jack, as there are numerous A Jack's in the records? We're very surprised he served with Cornish and Warwickshire regiments being of Scottish heritage and born in Manchester - or was it a case of'pot-luck'?

Thank you all again - quite amazing!
