I am writing regarding my great grandfather Alfred Bernard Jinks. Who was a member of the 1st East Lancs RFA. I know he was sent to Egypt on the 20th of September 1914 along with his brother Herbert Jinks (who was probably in the same battery and also survived the war). Herbert is known to have been in Gallipoli after and it is likely Alfred was too. From what I have been able to find on the internet, it seems likely they were sent to France following this. Alfred was certainly still in the army late in 1918. If you have any information that could help me add anything to his story, particularly where he may have been deployed to after Egypt, I would be most gratefull. His regimental numbers are: 872 and 700204. He was promoted on the 15th of August 1918 from Cadet to 2nd Lieutenant. His second regimental number confirms he was part of 210 BDE, RFA TF/ 1/1 E LANCS after 1917?.
I have attached a picture of him at his marriage to Elsie Nutall in Burnley in December 1918.
