Hello
Are you related to Thomas Needham Furnival Wilson born 20 March 1896? Mr Wilson had a long and distinguished career in the British Army retiring as a Major General CB DSO and MC. I believe he had links to the Hampshire area.
In late 1918/early 1919 Mr Wilson was a Major in 57th Battalion, Machine Gun Corp as was my Great Grandfather. Handed down through our family I have a group photo from that time and I am trying to identify the senior officer in the photo who does appear to be wearing the DSO and MC ribbons, which would tie in nicely with Mr Wilson's record at that time.
Can anyone out there find me a photo of TNF Wilson that I can compare to my photo, or if you knew him do you recognise him here?
All responses/ideas/thoughts/suggestions most welcome.
Please also see my other post re John Frederic Roundel Hope (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,618278.0.html) who could also fit the criteria and be the person in the photo.
Best regards
Richard
