I would like to link my grandfather Arthur COOK to his service history but have many conflicting details to make a sensible search. He had 7 children in Ipswich between 1905 - 1922. The birth certificates of the first 5 born 1905/6/7, 1913 & 1916 all show Arthur COOK as a Maltster or Working Maltster. It is not until November, 1919 when he is still shown as a Working Maltster with added information of Ex Pvt. 9th Suffolk Regiment. Family knowledge? is conflicting. Some think he never left England while others say he suffered from the effects of gas until his death aged 96! I have downloaded various medal cards but trying to fit him into the detail is proving difficult. Can anyone advise how I can research this chap while keeping my costs at a reasonable level. Heather
