Hi All.

Just an up-date.

I have just received some photo's from another kind Rootschatter.

Also yesterday another Rootschatter and GWF member gave me a
priceless gift for my project.

Thank you all who are/have assisted me, you will never know how
much it truly means to me.

Hi another roots chatter has re-directed me to you.  I have photos taken in India before/during WW2 of the Northants regt, unfortunately they have no place or date on them, it would be lovely if you could identify anything.  Of course you may use them, I could scan them & send.

I have a photo of the Freer family from Wellingborough with their son Henry in WW1 uniform with his parents and siblings, Henry was killed in Middle East March 1918  and was a member of the Army Cyclist Corps attached to 1st/5th KOSB.
I also have a silk memento of his regiment he sent to his mother from Egypt.

here are some family names on the back of the photo which I added after help from Seahall.
I have tried many ways to reunite these with any  Freer descendants without success, maybe you will have better luck if you would like them.
PM with address and I will forward to you if the postal service is up to it.

Regards James

I'll probably be able to place and name a few.... ;D
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.

Hi James.

I am truly moved by your offer of the Freer photograph.

I would endeavour to find any connection to the family.

Although I tried to assist here, I am sorry to see it could
not go to a relative at the moment.

P.M. on the way.

Sandy
