    Hi All

    I am doing some family history and I am looking where to find information about a Great-Great-Gran-Uncle who served in WWI with the Connaught Rangers. Later on he was in-pension at the Royal Hospital in Chelsea.
    Where would I locate his service record etc?

    If you contact Sam Cameron on Facebook;
    https://www.facebook.com/sam.cameron.583?fref=ts

    and tell him your query he may be able to help you, he is a Chelsea Pensioner from the North and lives in the Royal Hospital.
    Other avenues open to you are Findmypast and Ancestry or a visit to the Public Records Office in Kew, Kent.
