T/Sgt Arthur Young

He is a difficult man to track. I am not sure if his name was Arthur Young. His marrige inf that he gave on re-enlistment in 1922 is untraceable, as is the date he gave the RIC. The army record has

and indeed his 1939 register has him with a wife Isabella

There is a marriage in that quarter in Dover of Arthur S Young to Ethel Susan Herbert. This is probably correct for Arthur Young and he probably left her, and later had a permanent relationship with Isabella
