Sorry for the delay.
Since starting this thread a new archive source related to WW1 soldiers has become available; '
Pension Record Cards and Ledgers' The Western Front Association (WFA) is digitising these, allegedly 55% complete. The WFA has also given them to 'Ancestry' (via their 'Fold 3' site ) but at an extra charge to the normal ancestry subscription.
Now. Regarding William Griffiths. His medal index card only shows one service number: 7/2259. I've mentioned in the past territorial soldiers were renumbered in 1917. The medal roll itself does show his new number: 290319
Searching the new pension records does produce a result for Griffiths; there's not a great deal of information on the card, but we do have an address for the man: "82 Hartside Terrace, Chevington Drift".
