I have a photograph of my great grandfather taken some time between 1870 and 1900.He has four chevron on his left serve and crossed rifles above them. Unfortunately my scanner is kaput so I cannot put copy up on the forum. Is there any way in which anyone could help? If any meme!bet is on Facebook I could send photo via messenger.

World War One / Re: military service in WW1
« on: Saturday 21 May 11 22:32 BST (UK)  »
since he had childrenborn in 1915/1917 /1919 we do not think it likely that he served and also his brothers said that he was the lucky one who missed out on what they called the whole mess.

World War One / military service in WW1

MY grandfather ,aged 27 and married with 3 children on the outbreak of WW! did not serve. Was it because he was a family man? He was not in a reserved occupation- he was a club steward. His 2 brother onlya2 or 3 years ounger did serve. Is there any way that I can find out why he appears to have been exempted?

Armed Forces / Re: munsters in the Boer War

yes we are talking about the same person, born 1857. I am aware that he would have been quite old for Boer War service but he was avery patriotic man and even joined up during WW1 and served in the Welsh Regiment supply depot.

Armed Forces / boer war service

My great grandfather's obituary says that he served in the Munsters in the Boer War and I have a photograph of him in his uniform but no other info.
Can anyone give me any advice on how I might be able to find out if this story is true

Hi there Gortonboy and Tmo,
 His name was William Hubert Coopey and he was born in Twigworth Gloucester. I believe from some research that one of the local landowners had a connection to the Munsters . An elderly  granddaughter (92trs old ) remembers her mother, William Huberts daughter telling her how she watched him marching off in his uniform.
 AlsoI know that one of William Hubert's sons served in the Munsters in WW1.
As regards scanning the picture I am not very techno minded but as soon as my daughter comes back from holiday I will ask her to do it for me.
