Reginald's services records are part of the "Burnt Documents" which were damaged by bombing during WW2.

Enlistment & Medical / Miltary History Forms
The first 3 documents are the Attestation form and medical report which Reginald signed when he joined up for 3 years Short Service. These 3 forms fold up into one large sheet. He was 21 years 6 months old, a Silversmith, single, and had not served in the army previously. He was 5' 3 1/2" tall, 117 llbs, with a 33 1/4" chest, fair complexion, blue eyes and brown hair.
