Roscommon / Re: Margaret Mary MacDonald - birth look up please
« on: Thursday 11 August 11 19:06 BST (UK)  »
Hi Jess

She was born in Carrick-on-Shannon in Ireland in 1913. She married Robert Foreman in 1940 and moved to King's Lynn in Norfolk, England. She had one child, a boy named *, born the day after the war ended - 9th May 1945. * is my father so I would be very interested if you have some connection!
Regards

World War One / Re: Regiment and rank info please
« on: Tuesday 22 June 10 23:57 BST (UK)  »
Thanks Ady and Scrimnet

I know the gentleman in question suffered from the effects of a gas attack during the war, from which he never fully recovered, so it would fit in.

It would seem unusual to my untrained eye to have two men sitting for a photo together like this.  Was this usual, or is it likely that they were brothers/cousins.

I will try to get a better resolution picture for you tomorrow, but thanks again for your efforts so far.

Hello all,

Could anyone please tell me what regiment and possibly what rank for the person standing on  the photo.

Many thanks

Well here is another shot of the picture pack.  I think I didn't have all the writing on the last shot.
If you look carefully you can almost make out some of the writing with the naked eye.
Hope this makes it a bit simpler to read.....

Thanks for your input Jool.
This is getting rather interesting now!
I've tried Lindas' tip and it definately looks like 'M ( or Mr) Turner'.
I'm going to take another pic and post it on here - maybe the first one didn't have all the text on it.

Thanks for your efforts Terry and Nina
I tried angling the actual picture in sunlight and thought the first bit said M or Mr Turner.
From your picture, I was a mile out!

Hello

This is a picture of the back of an old photo.  Believe it or not there is an inscription in pencil on it.
It is not quite legible enough to make out.
I was hoping some of you kind people could use your wizardy to decipher it.
Thank you

Nick
