Help with 1st WW Information

[billy]

Hi all, hope this is correct place to post this? Apologies if not!

Local Postman is after finding out about his Grandfather's 1st W.W. Service, what he has given me is these details:-

Arthur Herbert Friend - Army Service Corps - A/362934 - Private

He was 25 years old ( in 1914 )? Married with one child, and is in France February 6th 1919, and he has an Archive Reference number :- WO 372/7/164272 but thats it till he can get the chance to go down and check but with Covid and all I said I would ask on here, hopefully someone may shed some light on him?
Apparently he was a baker? Would this show uo on his records if he did this in his service?

Am posting his picture but cannot see anything to tell to whom he was attached too? (If you watch Graham Norton he has had Daniel Radcliff on a few times, him from Harry Potter, well the public send in lookalikes, I think this would fit that category! )

All the best and thanks Billy

No service records appear to have survived for this solider. The only records I can find are his medal index card and the Medal Rolls (which confirm that he was awarded the British War and Victory Medals on 23rd April 1921.)
