Hi Ken
Thanks for that - I have tracked him down by using the number for the nearest surname in Ancestry and you were right - the transcription was wrong. It seems he joined the Grenadier Guards and a prompt reply from their volunteers confirmed the number does indeed match my man.
Very grateful for the info on the medals as that matches his headstone carvings.
