    3. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Is it possible to have a name changed for this only record I can find of my great uncle Ernest REDHEAD. Of all the army records that are around, I can't find anything more. This is my great uncle, my grandfather's brother. In 1914 on a Christmas card he signed as READHEAD as my grandfather also took. Redhead and red hair, so my line had the E put in. There is a grave for Ernest in Hemswell which I have seen and I would love his full records if they were available but you just don't find anything under Redhead. Where would I need to write to, to see if Ernest records are available and have the name on findmypast and other sites changed. Soldiers died in the Great War 1914-1919- soldier details Name: E.
