Help finding WW1 Veteran

[JPBraz]

Hello everyone,

I recently purchased a victory medal awarded to "Harry Boothman", from the Royal Army medical Corps with the number 71759.

could anyone help me find some information on this soldier?

Thank you very much!

Did not see him on the CWGC website. So it looks like he probably survived the war at least. You could try the 1901 census for someone baby to 20?.
