Just seen your post at 16.13; so looks as if this is the right Arthur. Let me know if you want the images but it will have to be tomorrow as I am logging off know.

Incidentally, the service record for the other Arthur whose baptism safc has posted is also on Ancestry.

Amazing, thanks both.

I am very interested in the epilepsy link - is there anything more on that? or how he was wounded? perhaps that is the epilepsy link.

Sybil seems to remain a mystery.

Additionally, could anyone shed any light on wife of Arthur Major, surname Siddal - married Camberwell 1918 - whilst I wait for the marriage certificate
