World War 1 Service info required

[hscott21c]

Am trying to find a William Hogarth Scott born Nov 1893 at Causewayside, Edinburgh who enlisted in Lothians and Border horse 20 / 1/ 1915. Demobbed in England 1/8/1919 having served in three regiments (!?) 2nd Lothian & Border Horse, 3rd Royal Scots, 2nd Gloucesters. His service number was 32682.

Many thanks in advance of any help.

Sorry, nothing is coming up for William on the British Army Service Records.

His medal card is shown on TNA - http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/d...&resultcount=1
- which gives two regimental numbers -
Royal Scots - 32682
Gloucestershire Regiment - 31742

Using 31742 to search on Ancestry - presuming it's the same man, another medal card (? different one) shows up with a further regimental number of 22017

Do you have access to Ancestry to search the British Army Service & Pension records, using all of these regimental numbers?

Elaine and Margaret, Thanks so much for your help. Have tried in vain to use the National Archives site, but suspect the war service records have been destroyed. In short, despite instructions on TNA I never found any information came up on the information I put in as a search. You must have a lot more experience or know how than me!

However with your help I will now have a try on Ancestry for medal card info.

Apart from the medal card, I cannot see anything else on Ancestry which relates to three regimental numbers.

He comes up in a search in the Glos Regiment database here , but whether they would have any further info on him I don't know.

Very unlikely they would have more info. As far as I know the database started as a private collection, and it seems that they don't have access to more detailed records. It's worth asking, but don't hold too many hopes! Several people I'm researching are on there, and I know more than they do (just through medal cards and other research).
