5th Royal Scots

Are there any lists showing men who served with this Bn before the outbreak of war?

Reason I ask is that a soldier I am currently studying is known to have been with 5th RS in 1912 but went to France in May 1915 as a Pte of the RAMC. I'm not sure why he transferred. Could have been time expired I suppose.

His name was John Heriot Stevens.

His number at that time I presume to have an RAMC one (it was 31564). Anything that would help me with his RS number of dates of service would be just great.

Have you tried looking for a file under WO97? I have found quite a few TF men who served between 1908 and 1913 in there who were discharghed T of E, discharged through accident or illness or unfit, or who bought themselves out. A long shot, but might be worth a look.
