Sorry, solved myself

This  photo was taken when I was a few  months old, with my mum, her  mum, her  mum and her  aunt so five  generations. As  far as I know  it is the  only copy of  this photo  with  my great-great Aunt Aggie, who died in October 1963.

I would  be so grateful if someone could restore the colours please.

Armed Forces / Re: R.A.I in 1932 - para 923 - Kings Regulations or something else?

Thanks @ShaunJ, makes perfect sense when you think about it  :)

As he extended to 21 years in 1930, because his 12 years would  have been up in 1931,  I guess it was  only fair to let him have a visit home.

Armed Forces / R.A.I in 1932 - para 923 - Kings Regulations or something else?
« on: Wednesday 09 July 25 15:03 BST (UK)  »
I have finally gained access to my grandfather's army records, not helped by him signing  up with a false DOB. He was posted abroad in 1920, ending up in India. Having originally signed up for  5 years, he signed on for 12 and then  21 years, staying in India.

In 1932  he was  "granted six months furlough to the UK under Para 923  R.A.I"

During this time he married  my grandmother.

We assume this was leave to visit home  as he had been abroad  more than ten  years.

Could  someone point me at the regulations para 923 please?

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Advice as to which test please

@Biggles50 and @youngt

Just to thank you  both again, I now have the results if  the test and am working  my way through. It turns out I have DNA in common  with people descended  from  people who  are ancestors of  our suspect. (Grandparents of  both his father and mother). So I need to  do the due diligence of  confirming there is no other "route" of  ancestry but we "may"  have confirmed the father.
