  • Army record puzzle

    I have my Grandfathers First World War's Army record
    Charles Miller born 1879 Royal Fusiliers 19061 ,
    and something is puzzling me
    On the front page item number 7
    Have you served in any branch of his Majestys service please state, looks like he says
    17th County of London ? Months


    thanks

    I would say it is either 3 or 8 months - but looking at the 3s slightly higher on the page, then I would go for 8.

        Not sure Val, but later on in his records there seems to be a reference to spending a few months in the Rifle Brigade - and being invalided after a few months. I've closed the record down now but it was on a typewritten letter (if I remember rightly).

                Not as bad as the one I have just found who enlisted in the army using someone else's identity!
