Update from service records
Hi again,
I was slow getting off my application to the Household Cavalry Archive, but have now heard back with my ancestor's service records - I have attached a few pages here, but I don't now believe the photo I originally posted is the same ancestor as the records ...! William served with the Life Guards for about 21 years, and prior to this service it would appear he was with the 3rd Vol. Royal Fusiliers. Any thoughts ? Last edited by MrsG; 29-05-19 at 07:03 PM. |
