Worcestershire Regiment

I'm trying to find infrormation on my G G Grandfather Henry A Parsons and have unfortunately hit a brick wall. Information I do have is that he was in the Dorsetshire Regiment (8748) and then the Worchestershire regiment (38642). What I cannot find however is his Battalion number, date of enlistment (I suspect it was probably pre WW1) and discharge date. The latest date I have for him being in the Worchester regiment is 1917.

Any information that can be provided would be very gratefully appreciated

Many Thanks

Hi,

His Medal Index Card shows the following:

Name: Henry A. Parsons
Rank: Acting Quartermaster Sergeant
Service Number: 8749 with Dorset Regiment and then 38642 with Worcestershire Regiment.
He entered the theatre of war on 4th October 1915 in the Balkans (Gallipoli)

He would have served with either the 4th or 9th Battalion Worcestershire Regiment.

Hope this helps,
