Where do I go next ?

Having just found the medal card for my Grandfather, apart from the medal list all it says on the Medal card is that he was in the Camerons, how do I go about further research on him, excuse me if this information is already on the site but the brain not kicked in yet. Thanks.

P.S. He served in The Great War, he was a Corporal.

Hi d.mackechnie

Did he survive WW1?

You should now have his service number. This may lead to further info, but it is likely to be stored at the National Archives at Kew.
Both of these sites might be of some help:

and
