World War One / Re: South Notts Hussars?????

Thank you for this image - so excited to see it.
I have a bag of miscellaneous photos that I will search through to see if I can find anything related to South Notts and/or GG Weaving.
Could I be cheeky and ask for a photo of the whole sword? I'd love to share this with other family members.

Dear Shush
Sorry for my slow reply - I've only just noticed your comment. I'm no expert on the South Notts Hussars, my interest is simply that George G Weaving was my great uncle and I was interested in what he did in the war.
I know lots about the rest of the Weaving family!
What's your interest?
with best wishes

World War One / Re: Not sure who this is!
« on: Wednesday 23 August 23 10:35 BST (UK) »
Hello Everyone,
I had no idea that this picture would generate such an energetic response! Thank you for all the knowledge, ideas and suggestions.
I had suspected that this might be either one of two brothers:
Philip Joseph LOCKE, born 1879 in Leamington Spa, or
Victor Franklin LOCKE, born 1885 in Leamington Spa.
Both brothers emigrated to Canada in 1908 - so yes, definitely colonial links. They lived in British Columbia - so the information already supplied is bang on.
I did not find them listed in the 30th Infantry Battalion Nominal Roll.
Both were active in the Warwickshire Regiment before they left for Canada, and I think that Philip took part in the Boer War. Philip is recorded as having been captured in WW1 and spent several years as a POW.
I'm amazed that you've identified so much from the photo. I attach the best close up of the cap badge that I can manage - I don't think that it's the same as the images that have already been kindly attached.
FYI (as I know that you're a bunch who likes these details), Philip's only child Richard P LOCKE, was a bomber pilot in WW2 and was lost after coming down in the North Sea after a bombing raid over Germany.
again, many thanks for your interest.

Dear Rootschatters
I thought that I knew who this handsome chap was, but now I'm not so sure as the insignia on his hat doesn't seem to tie up with what I thought.
Royal Warwickshire Regiment?
Your thoughts would be much appreciated.

Technical Help / Re: HP Printers stop working after using non HP ink!
« on: Thursday 18 May 23 11:20 BST (UK) »
So glad that I changed my long-term habit of having HP printers last year when I was thoroughly fed up of the overcomplications that they'd added to basic printers.
Swapped to an Epson ecotank which is a more expensive printer but it's a revolution in ink! No cartridges! Very economical ink usage - I still haven't re-filled it.
Print quality is Ok but not brilliant, and its a bit slow but otherwise very cheap to run!

Berkshire Lookup Requests / Re: Rebeecca Lovege [or Lovedge]
« on: Tuesday 14 February 23 11:17 GMT (UK) »
May be completely unrelated but there's a Rebecca Lovedge baptised 21/7/1672 at St Giles, Cripplegate, London, listed on Ancestry.
Father Will, and mother Rebecca.
The original is difficult to read so I'm trusting the transcription.
