Military Chat

Does anybody have access to the Forces War Records and would be willing to look up an entry for me?

I am interested in Frederick Markland Service No 35013 Private in the Cheshire Regt. I wish to know if this person in their records is "my" Frederick or not. My Frederick was born 4/3/1887.

Many thanks

Susan

Thanks all who replied.

Yes sorry got father's name wrong. I am now sorted with the family. They had an interesting life. One was a "Home Child" and sent to Canada. I was originally wanting to know about Frederick who may have been in the Cheshire Regt.

No more help require. Once again thanks.
