Hi

I have tried to use the National Archives record search to find my grandfather’s full-service records but I am not having any luck. I have a copy of his Casualty Form - Active Service (Army Form B. 103) which gives me his Regiment - 7th Battalion AIF, Regimental Number - 965, Enlistment Date - 17-08-1914 and his name. Even with this information I cannot locate anything in the National Archives. I have attached what I have to this post. If anyone could please help it would be appreciated. Thanks Brian

That casualty form can be found in the following Personnel Dossier:

Thank you very much. I am about to take a trip to Albany WA tomorrow 17/11/2025 for a few days and will visit the National ANZAC Centre while I am there. I am pretty sure that my grandfather would have sailed from King George Sound on his way to Gallipoli.

Thanks & Regards
