    Default Peter DUNBAR, Manchester Regt 1881-1893

    This man served as John CLARKE, and so is "mis-filed" in the WW1 Service Records (WO 363).
    The pages are badly damaged, no age is legible, and there is no reference to any WW1 service:

    Peter DUNBAR joined the Manchester Regiment (No. 332) on 1 September 1881 as JOHN CLARKE, swore a declaration that his real name was DUNBAR, and was discharged on "termination of engagement" in 1893. Father: David (address Manchester).

    I see that the records for Peter Clarke link him to the documents I found for Peter Dunbar.
