143461 A/Cpl Joseph Sefton British Army South Lancashire Regiment from:Liverpool I have done some research on my Grandfather Joseph Sefton
I have a record from Ancestry.co.uk stating he was regt no 2029 on attestation to the 1st Btn South Lancs in Oct 1886, but it mentions that he had served with the 4btn Liverpool Regiment (saying at the age of 18).
I also have several other Regt numbers appearing on his records. 124 (1901 record) 8109 (1905 record) and 267813 (1914 record).
He was discharged in Oct 1898, re joined in 1901 given Regt no 124.
He subsequently went to to Gibralter, Malta, Egypt and South Africa and was discharged in 1906.
He then joined up once more 1/10/1914 He lied about his age and said he was 44 when he was 46, he had six children
(one my mother) He was posted to South Lancs and also served in the Labour Corps (I think) and stayed in until
Feb 1919.
Unfortunatly I have been unable to gather any information regarding the following:
What(if any) medals would have been awarded for all or any of his service? Was he actually in the Liverpool Regiment? Are there any photgraphs of the South Lancs?
I Would love to find out more about him or the South lancs. Can anyone help?
