I have been trying to find my grandfathers WW1 records held by the National Archives. I know that he was born around 1890 in Hull, but don't have the slightest idea of what regiment he was in. I do know that he joined as a despatch rider, would he have been put down as driver or a private. I am fairly certain that he wouldn't have been a sapper. My main question is, how can I narrow the possibilities down on such a common name, so that I hopefully select the right person.
