Service records are the only way to go and you will need a copy of his death certificate (details above)

Wow thankyou thats him thats great thankyou

 

There are 3 family trees on Ancestry but all carry the wrong details of his date of death, this is not uncommon as people dont do their own research and assume someone who has already started a tree has done it correctly in the first place - so they just copy.
Have seen family trees showing someone at age 4 married a 30 year old woman - double check your facts

Good luck
TD

just for info - did he marry once or twice??

 

This Royal Artillery attestation in 1924 may be him, but service records will confirm:

 

He would have been 39 years old when he was transferred in Oct 1944 to RASC - not surprising - as said records will confirm all

Full information helps to pin down the correct person, what was his full name, dob, location, is he Francis Samuel SCULLY born c1905? Best way forward is his service records.

Is MP Military Police or Member of Parliament?
