As I said, Julie, there are no musters for this period at Kew.

What about pay books - I found death registered on one as his pay stopped and it said deceased even though no-one ever registered it.

None of them either for this period, Julie

There are the Red Cross WW1 POW records which have recently appeared online although they are not yet complete. Worth a look, even though they may well not help as they will relate to his WW1 service and not earlier service.

I know all about his WW1 service, what there was of it as he was taken prisoner in 1915. What I need are the earlier records from 1903. He must have been discharged pre 1908 as he married Christmas Day 1908 in Ashby de la Zouch. Apparently he was on his way to London from Yorkshire after he was demobbed and stopped off in Ashby and met his future wife.

The POW records are not all on there yet. Unfortunately, though, I don't think they'll help.

Did he get an Army Pension for his WW1 service? There are the Pension records held by the Western Front Association, but, again, they will probably just refer to WW1 service.

All I have is on this thread Ann. We just don't know. He refused to talk about anything.

Doesn't it say in his WW1 service records?

No clues at all. Read it for yourself.
