Janette
the record is on ancestry, he served with the Yorks and Lancs Regiment regimental no 2954If you pm me your e-mail I will try ans send it to you
Maddie

He joined up in Sheffield 17/11/1914 for 4 years his regiment was 4th Battalion Yorkshire and Lancs.
Number 2954 but I think maybe he was in other regiments when looking at some of the info.
There are 31 pages for him on Ancestry.co.uk but most of them are badly damaged and difficult to read.
His height was 5feet 5 inches.
There are forms signed by him.
