Hi Sarah,
Unfortunately, I don’t have any information on Robert Jordan. There are a few people doing research on that name on ancestry.com – they have posted some pictures there, which may be a good start for you. If you want to research his military service, I’d suggest writing to the National Archives; they can send you a copy of his documentation for free (if you’re next of kin) or for a fee. Try this request and see what happens:

Best of luck in your search!
