We have a note of our dad taking the pledge at age 11, at the baptist church in Cheriton, Folkestone. We know little of dads early yrs and are trying to find more about his 1st war experience. He joined up having put his age up and we do not know which regiment he was in , only that he served in Egypt. How can we find out more? Jean
