Thanks for the replies. He served from 4/2/1919 for about 10 years we think. Does that help any?
Thanks again.
I will try to google and see what turns up.

because he joined up after the war and most of his service was from 1920 onwards you may not find anything online,

the info and contact details are on the site listed below

You might just be able to search WW1 records on Ancestry.
If you dont have access, post the details and I/we will have a look.

Thanks so much for all your help everyone. His name is Thomas W. Nye, he joined the Black Watch Regiment on 4/2/1919 in Norwich. His army number is 2745368. He was born 1900 ish, married a lady called Ada in Greenwich in September 1929. Thats all I know, I'm afraid.
Thanks again. Any help would be great.

There is a registered One Name Study of the NYE surname.
Perhaps the researcher knows something about your man.?

Hi Hilary,
I've had a look on Ancestry but couldnt find him.
There is a free site where you have a good chance of progress,
"theblackwatch.co.uk"
Good luck
