Here below are links to the Devonshire Regiment W W 1.

Also worth a go if you have basic details, name rank etc it might be worth searching these site numbers 3 & 4 in the link list.

People are often amazed at the information that can be found. I assure you as an ex Naval officer you couldn't fart without it being noted on the ships log. The army was just the same as was the then R F C at the time.

Note some more links in the quote box too.

Now that should keep you out of mischief if and when you once start poking around those links.
