Hello everyone,
I'm a bit new to military records, and I was wondering if someone could help me with this:
Name: MASON, William
Regiment, Corps etc.: Corps of Royal Engineers
Battalion etc.:
Last name: Mason
First name(s): William
Initials: W
Birthplace: Edinburgh
Enlisted: Edinburgh
Residence:
Rank: SPR.
Number: 40252
Date died: 25 September 1916
How died: Died of wounds
Theatre of war: Home
Supplementary Notes: (84TH FIELD COY., R.E.).
I am not 100% sure this is my ancestor at the moment as 'Edinburgh' is a bit generic sadly. I was wondering about the 'theatre of war' being 'home' - does this mean he didn't leave the uk? And what would the supplementary note be all about?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated - thanks.
