In the 1891 Census Arthur is described as a Private in the Grenadier Guards.

He is living with his wife Alice (22) and children Joseph Charles Rowlands (2) and Alice Louise Rowlands (1).

He had a further child Gladys Rowland in London (1898) and in 1901 he had moved to Hove and was working as a commisionaire. 1911 in Derby.

Does anyone have access to military records of the Grenadier Guards?

Any help in fining his service record would be appreciated.would be appreciated i
