You could check on the British MIlitary records, they are classed as the burnt and the unburnt records, theres only a 50% chance though.
If he qualified for a pension or had been wounded and discharged try the pension records.
I've been checking the pension records for about 6 months on line, and as I have some 14000 names to research, and only 1/2 way thro B's, it will be some time before I get to Foster's.

Thanks for all that !!
I have emailed the Auxilary Fleet and maybe I will get a reply?
Im in Accrington library next week so will see what I can discover there. It is interesting to lear that he survived the war.
Thanks for your help and time, and I will let you know how I go on.
