The B2455 file for one of my relatives who served in WW1 is "missing".

This particular relative also served in WW2.   I have read previously that the WW1 file might be combined with the WW2 file.   I have other cases where that didn't happen,  so I don't know if the practice was consistent.

He is William Walter Samuel Hewson,  born 18…

I have been searching for a record for my Uncle in World War 11 but cannot find a trace of him in the Army records.  His name was William Bonnyman and he was I think a Signalman. There is a discharge date in 1945 for him.  But I know he worked for the Army after the war. I cannot remember when he left.  His number was VX16187.  I know he served in the Middle East before being wounded.  When I insert a family name search there are only 7 records for Bonnyman and his is not one of them.  I…

Hello

My maternal grandfather, David Cuthbert, DOB 12.3.1910 arrived in Australia as an orphan from Scotland-Glasgow. I have found a shipping record 1913 of a master David Cuthbert, aged 4 1/2 arriving on Orama, 10.10.1913. I am not 100% sure this is him but it is the only record I have located to date. My Mum and Aunties do not have a lot of information from his childhood, they believe he was a Barnados boy, perhaps living in Camden area. I have contacted Barnados in England (he was…
