Can anyone please find a pension record for Thomas W H Bentley.R22149. Kings Royal Rifle Corps. b 1892 Bromley London. Enlisted 1915 and discharged 1918. Served in France&Flanders.
I have found his medal card but although I know he had a war pension I cannot find it. He was awarded the Silver War badge because he had a gunshot wound to his head.. His service records are probably among those that were destroyed.
well here's his SWB details

Ancestry are still putting pension records online Blossom, but as you already know they may not have survived I'm afraid
I did look but he isn't on there
