thanks so much Richard really appreciate ,it so it does not say if he is in the Hampshire regt then ??? thats what I was hoping it would say.
Thanks for that link too

Val, no mention of Hampshire reg on that form that I can see but maybe he was transferred there from the Hampshires? I know my WWI soldiers were often transferred from regiment to regiment, not sure how common it was before though during peace time?
