Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Help repairing photo of Frank Victor Futter, Norfolk Yeomanry/Norfolk Regiment
« on: Saturday 03 January 15 21:07 GMT (UK)  »
Many thanks to you all for your help with this, I can't believe what a massive improvement you have been able to make to the photo. This young man looks so distinguished and determined for a lad of no more than 21. Fortunately he survived the war. Having recently recovered his war medal (thanks to a contributor to Roots Chat!) I can now mount it with a fitting photo!

Thanks again!

PS Special thanks to Carol for suggesting I post it here!

Thanks for all your replies.

Ken, interesting what you say about his regimental no. being allocated to the 4th Batt NR. The medal rolls at the National Archive show the 9th Batt. Do you know, therefore, if this suggests he was initially in the 4th Batt but was with the 9th Batt by the time the war ended? I will try the Great War Forum as you suggest.

Cheers, Ian

World War One / Norfolk Yemoanry/Norfolk Regiment
« on: Saturday 27 December 14 16:00 GMT (UK)  »
This photo is believed to be 204410 Pte Frank Victor Futter (shown as Fatter on his MIC and medals) but I am trying to confirm. The cap badge seems to be Norfolk Yeomanry but the few records I have show Frank only in the 9th Batt Norfolk Regiment serving 1917-1918.

I believe that the Yeomanry did become the 12th Batt Norfolk Regiment but is there any link with the 9th Batt? Could Frank have transferred from the Yeomanry to the Norfolk Regiment without it being shown on the MIC? Apart from the MIC none of his records seem to have survived in the National Archives.

Can anyone shed any light?

Thanks to you both for your comments.

Interesting about the shoulder title. If anyone has anything else to add, may be around the shoulder title, that'd be great.

I am trying to identify the man in this photo. Other than the regiment, which is clear, can anyone tell me if this is WW1, his rank and anything else that would help narrow it down?

I'm grateful for any help.

World War One / WW1 Service Record Look Up
« on: Wednesday 27 April 11 21:39 BST (UK)  »
I am researching the relative of a friend - Charles Joy who served in the Army Veterinary Corps. I believe I have traced his MIC under the service number SE/8027.

I would be grateful if anyone could look-up to see if there are any associated surviving service records for him. I am happy to pay for the records from the web site myself if they are confirmed to exist.

Thanks.

Thanks Adele1.

Gortonboy, I believe that he is related to me as I have a number of relatives born in Ingatestone and the surrounding area. On this basis, yes, I think his father was Charles Daniel Dann but I believe he was born in 1870. What makes you say 1873? I am trying to confirm beyond reasonable doubt that the Thomas Dann in SDGW & CWGC is Thomas Charles Dann, Charles' son.
