Were any of his children born while he was in the army? If so then their birth certificate(s) might give some information about his army rank, regiment etc.

Was he definitely a career soldier? That was his father James, I think.

WW1 service records are scarce for lower ranks, istr 70% of them were destroyed but of course it's always worth a look.

yes his father was a career soldier , i will check to see if any of james and janes children were born within the period of the war . There was a lot of anger with regard to james . I remember my mother saying that her mother jane didn't get a pension when james passed away as he didn't die under the colours . I don't. know if that was correct or not ? as there was lots of things said and at the time i didn't take any of it on board .

Do you know where he lived during the war? There might possibly be an absent voters' list entry for him if he was still in the army towards the end of the war. Edit - FMP comes up with several entries for James Moss in Wigan in Britain, Absent Voters Lists 1918-1921 which could be worth a look if he was living there?

You only got a widow's war pension if your husband died in combat or as a result of war injuries after the war.

Thanks Kite runner and OC . I didn't realise that was the case . i'll check the absent voters list on family search . but i've no idea where he was whether he was abroad or not . I actually don't know much about him only what i've said previously. i'm sad about that . my brother passed away a few years ago he may have had some ideas . but i've got nothing to go on only his birth and death . he died when he was 45 , not a long life .
