Good Afternoon all,

would anybody be able to help by repairing the two below photos ?

just looking for the creases to be taken out and for them to be repaired as best as possible.

I think both photos were taken on the same day and looking at the age of my Grandma I would assume this is from around the late 1930s

Thank you in advance
Joe

Thank you for all the Info Alan

I will know more when his records come back fingers crossed.

Maybe he exaggerated a little when he told his story’s he was well known for being a very good talker.

Thank you for your reply Alan

I have been looking into this myself and was also wondering if it was ww1 but my great grandad got called up just before the end of the war at the age of 47 and joined the RAMC but I don’t even think he finished all his training before the war ended. So I doubt it would be his but I could be wrong,  What do you think ?

The storys I have been told is up that he landed on D-day + 6 and went across the Rhine with the 51st highlanders and went to All the way to Hamburg.

That’s what he told my dad anyway.

I’ve sent off for his ww2 records so hoping that will shed more light, however I did put on it Sherwood foresters so if that info was incorrect it might ruin the search.

Thank you for your reply MaxD, that explains it then.

Yes it is something that I am looking to do this week, heard many stories about what he got up to so hoping that these can be validated with his actual records.

Thanks again for your help

World War Two / WW2 Regiments
« on: Thursday 23 August 18 07:54 BST (UK)  »
Good morning all,

I was hoping somebody is able to help me, my Great grandfather fought in WW2 I have a picture of what I believe to be his cap badge as I found it recently with a box of his old things (see attached)

He was born and lived most of his life in Guildford in Surrey so I was surprised to see that his cap badge is from the Sherwood foresters. how Common was it for soldiers to join regiments that are miles away ?

I would have thought that he would have been placed in a more local regiment ?

I should add that for all I know this might not even be his cap badge but I assume it is as it was with his things and what this regiment did in the war matches up with what I have been told he did.

unfortunaly he is no longer with us and died when I was 3 so I never had chance to speak to him, my grandad has now also passed away so he cant help either.

any help would be much appreciated.

Hello all,

This is a old post so this is a longshot as to if anyone will see this, but Joseph Cresswell was my Great great grandad. if anybody would like to share any information please let me know.

I have some knowledge myself of the family and also possess a few old photographs

Regards Joe
