The original records are at the National
Archives at Kew and images can be downloaded for a fee. However, I have searched the originals at Kew and the Roll doesn't include much more than the index itself, other than the actual medals received and perhaps a change in regiment. Those below with (incomplete) against the number usually indicate a second period of engagement. This occured because the soldier concerned volunteered in the early years of the war and then became conscripted when compulsory servive was introduced in 1916.
The usefulness of these records are somewhat limited but, because the majority of soldiers service papers for this period were destroyed by enemy action in WWII, they serve as a useful census of those who served.
If you would like full details, please email me.
