Thank you ArgyllGran.
You may not remember helping me a few years ago - but I remember you doing so; so thank you also for that.

JoyLouise -
As this thread is a few months old, and John didn't return to it, he may well not see your reply.
Try sending him a PM - which I'm sure you know about
The same applies to Lynn's thread about Horace Bailey, to which you've also added a post. She didn't return to her thread either.

John, try searching for member trees with him on.
I have some second cousins in Essex named Joslin and I know both (brothers) have done extensive research on their family history so they may be able to help you.
Good luck.

It looks as if his full service records have not survived. Around 70% were destroyed in a fire.
