Re: My Great Grandfathers Service Booklet
Hi Danny, that is a great item to have
It is his "AB64"? I have shown some on the forum. Take a look.

When did he serve?
I would be interested to see it please.
Military awards can be researched via the London Gazette website.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: My Great Grandfathers Service Booklet
yep Ade, thats it, this one isnt in the same condition as the ones in your collection, but it is still very important to me. Off the top of my head I think he served from 1914-1920, and somepoint during that time he transferred from the Royal Irish Fusiliers to the Machine Gun Corps.
I'll get some photo's up, but I'm having a few problems with the uploader
Thanks
Danny

Re: My Great Grandfathers Service Booklet
That is a fantastic AB64
You can research his medal entitlement here:
The National Archives | DocumentsOnline | World War One medal cards
It will cost a couple of pounds. I could not search him myself as I could not make out his surname.
Cheers, Ade.

Thanks for the link Ade, I'll see what I can find out. Oh, and the surname is McGurk.
Thanks for you help

That is him If you pay the £2 fee you can download his medal card index. This will tell you all medals he was awarded. You will also get info on five other soldiers with the same surname, as these come on mircofilm scans.
Cheers, Ade.
