Looks as though there was a pension - document headed "Award Sheet First Award". You could apply to the WFA for copies of any record they have, although you have to pay, whether they've got anything or not. They are quite slow, too - I'm waiting for one I applied for in June- and anyway, I would imagine it would only cover WW1 service.
Also, I think the next document after the above, headed "Medical History" is from when he first joined up in 1903 when place of birth is given is Ashby Dellah(!), although that doesn't fit the info from the 1911 census. The document isn't dated, though. |

Ashby Dellah is Ashby de la Zouch in Leicestershire. His wife was born there not him. The wife he married in 1908. They lived in Woodville, Derbyshire but that isn't far away from Ashby.

We applied, I think to Glasgow, about 25-30 years ago for his army record. We were told then it had been 'weeded' and nothing else was available.

I know, and thank you. He is a very frustrating person to try and research.

The 1914 Star medal roll shows the date he was taken prisoner - 17 Oct 1914.
1914 Star medal roll on ancestry This is the medal roll for the other medals but doesn't have any extra info: British War Medal and Victory Medal |

Edit:. No, I don't think I have seen that before Kate. I've seen the normal medal roll. Thanks Kate.

Margaret, I see your grandparents are on the 1939 register. I assume you've unlocked their household - any clues?
