Or there's this one, at Aldershot. He's not with the RFA, but the RHA, which did have bombardiers (RFA didn't, according to Wikipedia).
He's a few years older than the one who married in 1920 - but still . . . . you never know!:

Just in case - (long shot)

This one's father's not a farmer either - he's a tanner's labourer - and there's no middle name on the marriage record - but John junior is with the Royal Garrison Artillery, and is the right age.
(He's not actually with the family, as the entry has been scored out.)

Do you have a copy of the marriage certificate, Christine?

It would be helpful to know how old John was.

EDIT: sorry, just noticed he was 28!



Although he was living at Farnham in 1920, that was probably because of his job, so he could have been brought up anywhere by his farmer father.

I don't think he'll be the one posted by malyon above, as that one's father was a labourer in London.



EDIT again:

I've just looked at the image of the marriage cert, and his residence was Farnborough, not Farnham.
But it's still in the Aldershot area.
