I know the Agate ware shop. Will be over there in May for Liberation Day. If he lived there prior to WW1 then he would have been part of the Royal Militia Island of Jersey. Contrary to popular belief there WAS a place in the United Kingdom where military service was compusory, the Island. However, Jerseymen could only be conscripted to fight abroad 'To assist the Monarch to regain the throne, or to release the Monarch from captivity'. In the Great War the law was changed to allow conscription to the general forces. Many men left the Militia to join up as individuals. There was a small group joined up and became part of the 7th (Srvice ) Battalion Royal Irish Rifles and subsequently the Hampshire Regiment. So he maybe listed on the Milita roles, depending on where he lived on the Island. The rest of the Militia performed gaurd duty at the St Quen's POW camp, just ner the pond.
