Hi Andy

In the absence of any information from anyone else ...

Not sure how much help this will be, but I did a google search for "Fife" and then within that an advanced search for "Absent voter" and then a further refinement "war". There were a handful of results - which might at least give you some background.

If these exist, it might be worth contacting the Council.

I contacted the records place for the Fife area and they gave me dates for 1918(?) I think. Quite a quick call if I remember rightly, but I was told to try NAS but i didnt think they held such records.

I have one Greenlees brother to trace in WW1 with the exception of Robert who is proving difficult. Andrew survived I know that and The NA has only one Andrew Greenlees serving in the Army Service Corps. Not sure how to prove that.

Thanks for bumping this up.
