FMP Military Records

[WendyPusey]

Any kind person who would look on FMP and fine the two entries for my grandfather please, and give me the details? I don't have any subs at all these days.

Benjamin Christopher Thomas - 1870, Heston, Hounslow, Middlesex.

For some reason my laptop doesn't like me to view the images from fmp without downloading each one (very slowly!). I would imagine there are several pages for each of these docs, so for the time being here is what fmp has transcribed, but I expect this is not all the info on the docs:

Wendy, I've sent you an e-mail, hope you still have the same address :)

Thank you Daphne.

Just a thought - the birth parish will be HESTON not Haston.
