Recognise the UNIFORM ~ Photo
« on: Sunday 17 July 05 21:19 BST (UK) »
  This is a photo of my grandad, in a group of uniformed people.
I guess the date is around 1930-40. I don't know for sure.

        Does anyone know what he was doing?

               Many thanks,   Lesanne.   :D

 Hi Mack,
     Maidenhead, Berks. This is the most common place refering to Grandad. He was in Corby, as his place of residence when he married nan, in Maidenhead.

His parents were from Hammersmith, and his paternal link is Oxon. I'm still trying to find out if his dad, Robert, died in the ww1.

 Yes, Craze is direct family. So far, from the Mile End Old Town.

                                Does this help? Lesanne.  :)
