Oh crickey!... I'm all confused.... major Horne, years ago at the grenadier guards museum told me that was his service number... now I'm not sure.. he was married in 1908. By the time war broke out he had 3 children, 1 on the way. My grandpa Leslie in 1915. His wife was Elsie. I've taken his photo to try and share it about 15 flipping times now. I'm in bits!!!!
He was born Fred.
