Photo's of Northamptonshire Men/Women Both Wars Wanted Please

[willsy]

Thanks for that, fingers crossed

Just to add, have Albert's military records and also his brother George Frederick Ward. It looks like George's no was 3044 but he served 93 days and was sent home 6th June 1891, spent 42 days in hospital. On medical sheet in disease column says malfunction chest and remarks include, congenital chest-no treatment. Was admitted to hospital (still in Aldershot) 24th April 1891 and discharged 5th June 1891.
I can't find him 1901 and wondered whether he could have re enlisted
Albert joined the regiment at Northampton but George joined at Aldershot 6th March 1891, they were both born in Leicester.

I understand that numbers issued in WW1 changed if men transferred to a different unit.  I am sure someone will correct this if I have got this wrong

Hi All

I will try to get around to answering later. 

James what can I say, I am speechless, not enough to not give
you my thanks though.

Your package arrived today and doing crafts myself and seeing the
silk done by Henry, all those years ago brought tears to my eyes.

It is beautiful and has still kept it's colour after all these years.

Do you have a soldier of your own that I could make you a special
card for in return for allowing me the articles which I will endeavour
to return to the family.

Thanking you in allowing to be the custodian of such precious items.

Sandy,
Thanks for your reply, I am pleased you received the package and I am sure you will treasure it, The colour has remained because it has been behind a picture frame for a lot of years, it is amazing to think that it's nearly 100 years old. I do hope you reunite it with a descendant of the Freer family.
I will pass on the info to my friend in France who originally found the photo and silk.
 
Oh what horrors those young men saw and what sacrifices they made and are still making today.
 

Kind Regards.
James
Now I can finally close the topic

I am very intrigued by this....And look forward to seeing the items

Perhaps I should find a Freer relative...

Must have somewhere, as Gran died in Wellingborough...

[seahall]

My beloved Mum died in Irthlingborough and my Dad in Finedon. 

All these years without them as they died in 1974 and 1986. 

And my 3 soldiers came from Wellingborough also.

Perhaps I should find a Freer relative...

As I said to James I will try my very, very best to find one.

Remember the Plaque to the 2 children I found.
