Armed Forces / Royal Marines Uniform? (Help needed re W Holland 1880s)
« on: Sunday 02 March 25 21:18 GMT (UK) »
Hi
I've got my photos in a bit of a muddle. I know I have a photo of Sgt William Holland, a member of the Royal Marines in the 1880s and a distant relative (there is a separate post in another forum re this gentlemen). I was wondering if anyone here can identify this uniform please as maybe being a Royal Marines one or maybe something else. Many thanks. Paul Crook

Thank you very much. I wondered if the medal card indicated he was in B Company but I wasn't sure of the handwriting.

A smaller copy of the relevant part of the Medal Card in case it helps. Thanks

World War One / Medal Record Card - I Company or unit identification possible?

Hi. Not sure if I've posted this before but I am trying to find out which Company of the 8th Bedfordshire Regiment my late relative Sgt 20706 John Crook was in. Is the attached Medal Card any help. I think his records were among those destroyed in WW2. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry shaunj, I pressed the wrong buttons when looking at The Hampshire Telegraph and didn't get to see the funeral report. Does it give many extra details or just that the funeral took place? Thanks
