The Common Room / Re: R.A.O.B. or Buffaloes
« on: Tuesday 12 August 08 07:48 BST (UK) »
This is exactly what I have been looking for. It's my mum's 70th birthday in September and I'm doing her a family book.
My Grandfather died before I was born but he was a member of the Buffs. There is a problem with his name. He was suppose to be also a member of the Magic Circle, but they don't have any record of him.
His name was John George Thompson born Oct 19th 1884 and died May29th 1955. My mum always thought Rapier was used in his name but her half brother thought it was Ruttier.
I also know he use to work in Stol theatres as Melvo the Magician, Master of Mystic and Mirth. I'm sure my Mum has got a ring or something of his to do with the Buffs.
They mainly lived in the North East of England and North Yorkshire. If you have any information I would be so grateful.
