221883 Drvr. Charles Goldsmith British Army Army Service Corps from:Brighton My maternal grandfather, Charlie Goldsmith, enlisted in the Army Service Corps on the 19th of June 1914. His regimental number was 372. His Army number was T4/239401. His rank was Driver. He came from Brighton.
I believe he was in 662 Unit because there is a faded note to that effect on his service record. He was posted to Salonica on the 3rd Jan 1917 as reinforcement. Prior to that he might have trained in Canterbury. His army also record mentioned 81st TA or JA and theatre of War or command as Russia.
I have 3 pictures of him one one a horse, one tending a horse and a third one with a group of men outside a shelter. My Grandfather is holding a baby owl in his hand and a man behind him seems to have a fully grown owl on his arm. Seems to been in a hot climate maybe Greece. Who took this photo?
As you can see there are massive gaps. If anyone has any information or clues please contact me.
