Any ideas how to find this soldiers first name or anything

I’ve been ruling out Richard and R Holdsworth medal cards one by one looking for Richard Joshua Holdsworth.
This card potential Holdsworth, R - service # 47429 - Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry - 2nd/4th Bn - Date Of Death 1917/11/20 - in action taken is a number 967 - buried Hermies Hill British Cemetary
I’ve scrolled through the burnt records and found a couple of Richard Holdsworths but none matched this soldier and none were the Richard I’m looking for.

Karen,

With his service number and regiment details, try his regiment website. If that regiment no longer exists, they should be able to give you a link to follow.

Alan.
