My grandfather served in the Liverpool reg.I believe cavalry div.but I have no clue where he served,he did survive.Any clues?

Do you have any other info about William such as date of birth or place of birth? Can you also confirm this service was World War 2 and not World War 1. There was a William Stubbs serving with the Liverpool Regiment in WW1.

Hi,thanks for your reply,my granddad was in ww1,born 27 AUG 1889 in NEWENT GLOS. His medals read 75437 PTE WG STUBBS L,POOL R.

This is very frustrating, it seems your granddad re-enlisted in 1920 and his attestation papers are on Find My Past but for some reason the file will not open and I cannot view them. Basic details are :-

William George Stubbs
Age 30 Birth year 1890
Birth place Newent
Attestation year 1920
Service number 725607

These papers would probably give details of previous service.

I will report this to FMP and hopefully may eventually be able to access them.

PS which medals have you got ?

I have managed to find that your grandfather served in WW1 with the Kings Liverpool Regiment but unfortunately I haven't been able to find any records of his service with them. The information came from a database held at the Museum of Liverpool and all it gives is name and number.Perhaps if you contact the Museum (I don't think they will do a search for you) they may be able to tell you where you can find further information. The National Archives perhaps.

If he was the William Stubbs who married a Lizzie Harbage in 1912 then it looks like he possibly re enlisted in the Royal Artilley after the war. I have found an attestation for him in 1920 which states that he was a Driver in the 2nd Mid. Bde. Royal Artillery and his discharge took place on 9th March 1922 after 4 years and 252 days of service. Soldier number was 725607.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.
