Richard Goodner continued to serve in the RAMC and a brief look at WO372 shows service with the 5th Field Ambulance in the Great War, he was discharged on the 23rd of March 1916 having served in France with the BEF from the 19th of August 1914, interestingly, he claimed his clasp to his 1914 Star too.
It is possible that his papers may he survived, or indeed, perhaps partially, survived in WO363, but, sadly a manual search would not normally be possible and there are no available folio for him.
Notwithstanding, still a very interesting man though and you can certainly be proud of him.

Ditto David......

Then there are us Ludites who remember what a pen with a removable nib and ink bottle look like.....

My kids used to say that I took my notes at school with a chisel and hammer on stone.....

But all kidding aside "Thanks for your technical skills...."
