Even his regtl number had three varieties, 9630, 9639
and 9830! Taking the first as the actual one puts him
as enlisting in January or February 1908.
Appears that he was born in Blackburn in either 1887
or 1890, and was certainly with 1/KORLR in India for
the 1911 Census 2/KORLR being in Jersey at that
time
