If so, and if you have any clue as to a time frame, you might want to check the local newspaper. The weekly newspapers I use fairly often carried a list in every issue about who from the area was wounded, who was killed, who was captured. In the gossip section, there are often comments from the family about wounded men. And of course when they came home, they were listed. Usually, there's a regiment tacked on. Good luck. Cheryl

Yes, I know he was born in Kingston-upon-Hull but that he also moved to the north east of England at some point. Don't know where he was living when he joined up. Good advice though Cheryl and something I can look in to. Thanks again. Regards, Paul (R) My Lake District walking site: http://www.lakelandwalker.co.uk
