Robert Welsh WW1 records help

[stevie2006]

Hi I wonder if anyone can help me with a look up for my brother in law. We spent the afternoon looking up his side and came across -

Robert Welsh born circa 1893 in Stirling Scotland. I found his death listed as 29th October 1916 and he is buried in France. Through the Commonwealth War Graves website I found out he served with the 5th Battalion Cameronian Rifles and his service number was 201680.

I also know he is buried at Thiepual Memorial in France but wondered if anyone could look to see if his service record and medal index card are on Ancestry as I no longer have access.

Many thanks

Steven

The only one I can see is this:-
Robert Welsh
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1893
Age at enlistment: 24
Residence: 30 Commerce, Glasgow
Document Year: 1917
Regiment Name: RE In Wate??
Number of images: 35

The record shows a wife Mary, but the images are only fragments so the information is difficult to read.

His medal index card is on Ancestry, showing two regimental nos. of 201680 and 468
Shows he was with the Scottish Rifles and was awarded the Victory and British medals.

He is not buried at the Thiepval Memorial but named on a panel there as having no known grave. Soldiers Died in the Great War records him as being born in Perth. A Robert Welsh was born in Perth in 1889.
