Toni ..... ..... Your HOLMANS ...arrgghhhhhhhhhh  

Nanny jan ... John penfold b 1897 went to WW1 ...but came back and died of Pneumonia  

William Penfold (who married Bessie Palmer) was in a war, but we have been told it was the Boer war ....  

Don't know of any others ...but a lot of the Penfold'ds did join up ...usually looked after the Horses and such .... they were really great 'vets' ....
