Hi dutch

On the first page it says he was joining the 21st (Reserve) Battalion.

Further down, in answer to the question"...have you ever served...." it says "Queens Westmrs 5 yrs and Nat Reserve. Transferred to TF ex Sergt.

Westmrs could be Westminsters; TF could be Territorial Force ( I think this was the forerunner of the TA)

On the second page it says 21st Company of London Regiment.

On a small slip further on it says 2 Westr

He does seem to have had two numbers: 3182 which I think was his Queen's Westminsters No and 651053 which appears to have been his London Regiment No.

I wonder if his earlier records could be in the National Archives.
