Is there anyone who has downloaded one yet and can tell me what it contains, please?

I have a hit for a S Linkson who is 99% certain to by my great grandfather's brother Sidney.

I only subscribe to 1911 so I have to pay to view and want to know if it's likely to be worth it or if it's just going to tell me what I know i.e. name, date of birth.

I don't think Ancestry have the same details as FMP because when I searched on there I found a John Barley from the Lincs reg, but he didn't come up on Ancestry. I 'd be interested to know if he is one of my Barleys.
