I wanted to ask on here if anyone can tell me 'How do I find out where my grandad served during WW1?
I now have his medals & I now have his service number, I've also bought & PlumPudding his medical certificate from the National Archives.
His number was 8896 private William Hancox, Worcester Regiment, enlistment 4.9.12. Discharged 13.12.17.
Now I want to find out where he would have been in WW1, as I remember my father saying something about Ypres? I don't not know what Battalion he was in, any chance of finding out? How would I find out all these things, anyone on here can help?


Dee :D
