Thanks all. Found the web sites. Surname Stanley and S's are done so if his record was retrievable he should be there. Also found out we can still use the released MoD records as well as the PRO for WW1 service. Aparantly a letter with name, number, SAE and a cheque for 20 quid gets us the details if there. Here's hoping! Going go to the museum next Saturday all being well as well.I knew there were some knowledgeable people out there.
Thanks again
Dave
