Help please with understanding the information on these forms Everything will be appreciated as I am completely at a lost to understand most of it!
This is of course WW1 service and there is a fair amount of information available online on Alfred Aston; his Medal Index Card, Award Roll and service records, note that you posted the same image twice and there are 6 pages of B103. He moved between units, hence the variation of service numbers, in WW1 a new number was allocated on transfer, this is in contrast to WW2 where a man retained the same number even when transferred. His Award Roll shows: 45210 Pte 22nd Coy, Machine Gun Corps and 24th Coy Machine Gun Corps 578372 966 Coy Labour Corps and 793 Coy Labour Corps GS/111033 44th Royal Fusilers He joined up 25/8/15, South Staffordshire Regt No. 4573 Part of his right index finger was amputated (blown off by shrapnel) Alfred Aston - Ancestry.com Medal card of Aston, Alfred Corps: Machine Gun Corps Regiment No: 45210 ... | The National Archives If I were you I would get his complete records, create a timeline of his service in the different units and then look for the war diaries for the particular units at the relevant dates. For example 24 Battalion Machine Gun Corps | The National Archives He is also duplicated here: Life story: Alfred Aston | Lives of the First World War Life story: Alfred Aston | Lives of the First World War
