Default Further question

You’ve been so helpful- I wonder if you could give me some more advice please?
My confusion over Uncle Pat (Albert George Smith of Ramsbury g)’s WW1 Service arose after my cousin found mention of an AGSmith of Ramsbury Parish joining the London Regiment. Previously we just had my father’s memory of him joining the Wiltshire Regt. You’ve convinced me that the photo I posted is of him in the Wiltshire Regt.
I did find, however, a document mentioning an AG Smith in the Wiltshire Regt who had previously been in the London Regt. My question is - under what circumstances would that have happened?
If you know of another forum where I could more appropriately ask this, I’d be very grateful. Thanks so much once again,
Joanna

One reason could be illness or wound- when he became fit he could have been sent to another regiment below strength. The Great War Forum may be worth a look for you. Regards, Paul. https://www.greatwarforum.org/
