Dear maxD,

Thanks for the references.  I'll have a look at them.

James,

The album arrived today.  I have donated $15.00 to the Wounded Warrior Project.

Fortunately Marshall wrote a good deal of information on the backs of the photos, so I don't have to try too hard to decipher the pencil notes beneath the photos.  I am sorting and scanning and trying to improve some of the images so that they can be included in my research. 

I found it interesting that he had more photos of India (presumably post war) than he did of Basra during the war.

This was a great find and I am truly grateful for your generosity.

When I finish my write-up of his life and service I would like to send you a copy.  Is there a way to send a lengthy MicroSoft Word document (.doc) through RootsChat?

Alternatively, I will be uploading it to my web site.  I can let you know when it is up and give you the web site address for it.

Album has not arrived yet, but should be due any day now.

I think the photos will help greatly in determining where he was and what he was doing, especially the one in Simla, which was a British rest camp in the mountains of India during that period.  Wonder how he got there and why?

The medals in my last post are, from left to right:  British War Medal, Victory Medal and Special Constabulary Long Service Medal.

You may be familiar with these.

James,

Here are Marshall's medals.  See attachment.

I have progressed very well on the story of his life and military service.  The photo album, hopefully, will provide more details of his service - even if I have to interpolate based on the images
