Bazranz, delighted that you have seen this. 12 September will mark the Centenary of when your grandfather made his visitors book entry at Peterborough Station. This event will be marked by the release of his 'story' on social media and on our screen at the current Peterborough Station.
Do you have a photograph of him that we could include? If you could contact me at we could exchange notes to make sure the story about to be release is as correct as possible? Also if you visit the website you will be able to see and read his handwritten entry.

Working as a researcher for http://www.peterboroughww1.co.uk/ Stanley Henry Clifford Ranns signed a Visitors Book at Peterborough East railway station in 1916. Agree he was born Ipswich 1894 to John & Ellen. He was an Iron Foundry worker in 1911 census which would fit with earlier suggestion of a shipyard worker in Hartlepool. We found that he signed up in Colchester on 19.02.1914 joining an unknown Regiment before transferring to the Machine Gun Corps at Grantham 13.05.16. He married Alice Winifred Brown (b27.08.1896 Grantham) 09.09.1918 but why they went to Hartlepool to do this?
He remained in the Army after the war ended, transferring to the Tank Corps 24.01.1922 where he stayed until discharge after 12 years service on 18.02.1926, giving an address near Claypole, Lincs. We cannot find any trace of him after this. Electoral Rolls for 1929 & 30 have his wife Alice living alone in Claypole and by 1939 she is recorded as a widow who was to remarry in 1940 becoming Alice Clayton.
Can anyone come up with a death after 1926?
