Many thanks for that Janwhin / John.
I thought he was a 7th Battalion man from his number, The fact that he was wounded in 1915 might give a reason for him ending up in the 5th Battalion if he had a break in hospital then back to the front.
I don't have the casualty lists for the first part of the war, they must be with the Brigade records? (the latter years have remained with the 7th Bn. war diary in the NA)
John I still have the Gladstone Hardy plaque set aside for you.
