Various "coded " notes on there, initials, numbers, etc, which mean nothing to me.

However, can make out he was a S.Sgt in the RFA - then S Sgt is scored out and FTR Sgt written above.

Commissioned November 1917.

Application for medals: 20/02/1922.

Thank you everyone. I saw there were his Army records on Ancestry but cannot view them as I don't have the 'PREMIUM' service!

I am seeking the baptism of Percival Victor Jeorrett WAY s/o Charles Uraih WAY and Sarah Jane WAY (nee JEORRETT). Percival was born 09 Aug 1887. On the 1891 census the family were in Kinson Park Poole.

Any help with the baptism much appreciated.

Best Wishes,
Derek
