My grandfather Horace David RYLOTT enlisted in the Lincs regiment in I believe 1917 as he was born 1899 He served in France first with the Lincs but then transferred to ASC possibly after being gassed. Not sure which battalion but wonder if his enlistment centre might have been influential in that. His service record card (only) is on Ancestry - the rest destroyed in WW2 bombing. Any ideas?

Hi Peter As it was past Jan 1916 he was conscripted, there would be no relevance to the unit he was attached to after basic training, they were allocated as the needs were at the time From the RASC Victory & British War medal roll (Ancestry) Horace David RYLOTT T/455457 RASC Previously of the 7th Battalion Lincolnshire regiment Transferred to the RASC 25th June 1919 Discharged under paragraph 392 (XXVIII) 8th April 1920 XXVIII = discharged on demobilisation Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 25/04/2016 06:30, Peter via wrote: > My grandfather Horace David RYLOTT enlisted in the Lincs regiment in I believe 1917 as he was born 1899 > > He served in France first with the Lincs but then transferred to ASC possibly after being gassed. > > Not sure which battalion but wonder if his enlistment centre might have been influential in that. > > His service record card (only) is on Ancestry - the rest destroyed in WW2 bombing. > > Any ideas? > > Peter G HOLMES --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
