World War One / Re: Uniform identification - preWW1 cavalry??
« on: Monday 25 May 15 10:46 BST (UK) »
My grandfather is George Robert Cole. At some time he must have been stationed in Scarborough where he married my grandmother (Constance Evelyn Fieldhouse) in 1919. There were three children (Lillian b.1920, d.2002), Richard (b.1921, d.1966) and Kathleen (b.1925) - my mother - who is still alive.
My mother often talks of 'Uncle Hoff', who used to ride a motorcycle from Essex to Scarborough to visit his brother during the 1930's. She also talks of an 'Auntie Reena' and an Auntie Violet, plus a couple of other sisters who she can't remember.
In the early 1970's my parents and I stayed in Essex for a week catching up with family. I remember visiting Dedham and also a stables or riding school in East Bergholt where I suppose I have distant cousins.
I have my grandfather's war medals and on the box it says: "47799 Pte. G. R. Cole 13-Hrs."
Good luck with the research.
