Many thanks Dizzi.

What a great site. My Great Uncle was in the 2nd battalion Highland Light Infantry and was killed during the first battle of Ypres in 1914.

THIS SITE MAY EXPLAIN SOME PRE WW1 RECORDS
AND WHY YOU CAN ORE CANT FIND SOME
http://www.1914-1918.net/records.html



Collection WO97. This is the main collection of army service records to men who left the army up to 1914. If a man re-enlisted for the war then theoretically his record should NOT BE here but I have found many that are.
•These records are now online at Findmypast
•They are also available in original form at the National Archives
