His name, was; George Marr (think his middle name was; Robert) he was a lance corporal, and his reg number was; T4250634DVR. I hope someone is able to find something on him. He was born; 1892/1893 in; Hull, Yorkshire.

A lot of WW1 records were destroyed in WW2 when the place they were kept was bombed.

Unfortunately, more than half of their service records were destroyed in September 1940, when a German bombing raid struck the War Office repository in Arnside Street, London. However, an estimated 2.8 million service records survived the bombing or were reconstructed from the records of the Glossary - opens new windowMinistry of Pensions. This means that there is a roughly 40% chance of finding the service record of a soldier who was discharged at some time between 1914 and 1920.

Hopefully someone with access will be able to check and see if George's records survived or not.
