198293 Private Frederick Hele British Army Kings Royal Rifle Corps from:27 Ruston Street London My grandfather Fred Hele was in the KRRC in 1915 as i have a photo of him in his uniform with his wife and young son who was a baby at the time. He was born on 11th December 1886. His medal card also shows he was awarded a Silver War Badge (SWB)List M/1410 which i think i still have at least i have two SWB both with different reference numbers on, so one could be his.
I don't know if you can help but i am trying to find out why he was given the SWB but do not know which Battalion/Unit he was in. If I can find this out then I may be able to unravel his story through War Diaries.
Would you know where i may be able to find out which Battalion/unit he fought with.
Many thanks for any help you can give.
John Hele
