They just mentioned on the BBC1 programme 9.15 this morning

the Regimental Admissions Register? (well I think it was as I was just passing the tv at the time) which gave further details of a person when they joined - perhaps that's too late for Peter.

Sorry I was only passing through the room when I saw it - not even sure it was Regimental admissions now - will have to look at the programme again on rewind to find out exactly.

When I needed some military records looked up at the NA sometime ago I used a military researcher at very reasonable cost - not sure if he still does it. Kevin Asplin was his name.

Update it was the Honorable Artillery Company that had the admissions book.

It might be worth contacting the Regiment Peter first joined to see what Regimental records they know of that might shed some light. Here's a link to the Regimental Museum.

I used Kevin a couple of years ago. I thought he was very good too.

There are Description books at the National Archives which is a similar sort of thing but they are for the 19th century. Worth trying the regiment, though, to see if they have anything on him.

We did try the regimental museum ages ago. Nothing, referred us to TNA.

I'll have another go.


Remember, I do have his military record, not just from Ancestry but from The Army archives themselves many years before they went online. We had to produce proof that OH's father was his son and he had to write giving us permission to receive them. Much like you have to now when you order WW2 records.

They commented that the records had been 'weeded'. Their words. It told when he joined and where. No mention of next of kin or place of birth. The place of birth of the records when he was recalled for WW1 says Ashby de la Zouch, which was where he lived at the time not his place of birth which according to the 1911 census was Rotherham. He joined the Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry in 1903 in Pontefract.

It was the actual Regimental records that I was referring to. There may be something at the National Archives - Muster lists, pay lists and as with HAC an admission book - you never know.

I found out the date a soldier joined, his age 17.3 and where he enlisted by looking at records for the 7lst Regiment of Foot.
