My gt grandad was a GG I havent sent off for his records before because I never knew his service number. (and even though I had sent detailed information to the Guards they were adamant that they couldnt help me)
my question is, If I sent off for them what sort of info would I get? would they be the same as his pension records? I know when and where he signed up, and also know that he was pensioned out in 1870, and why he was pensioned out, he died in 1872.
so would his GG records be any different to the ones I already have? he did enlist to the 59th Foot and later transferred to the guards where he became Corperal.
thanks
