From previous experience of a few of these records for OHs family, every single one of them (we only got four, but even so, 100% of those) had a year of birth on the service record one year before their actual year of birth (or was it that the indexed year was wrong?). I don't know if we worked out why that was, but in any case it may well be that his actual date of birth was 12th March 1900 not 1899.
