Armed Forces / Army Trial 1900

« on: Monday 20 May 19 13:01 BST (UK) »

I just discovered in some army pension records My husbands Grandfather who was in the Royal Horse Artillery was first imprisoned by CO in April then Awaiting trial then tried and imprisoned in May 1900 but then back on duty in July 1900. Will there be any records of the trial and what he was charged with?

Also he went to India in 1901 and returned 1902 would he have received a medal for this? We have his medals from WW1 but no other medals

Many thanks

Armed Forces / Medal designed by A Borrel

« on: Tuesday 21 May 13 14:23 BST (UK) »

Hi

We found a medal in my husband's Grandfathers Medal as well as the WW1 medals there is one more like a disc and is 50mm across and says IN EO PATRIAE SPES, the medal shows a Woman releasing a Carrier Pigeon from the Battlements, i tried to take a photo but it was not very good. I have looked online and it seems that it is French here is a link to a photo on a German website ahttp://www.bildindex.de/obj05730864.html#|home but i can't find out any more about it, why would a British soldier have this medal

Many thanks to anyone who can help

Canada Lookup Request / 1911 Census look up Compeer, Alberta

« on: Wednesday 08 November 06 16:56 GMT (UK) »

Hi there

I am looking for the 1911 census for a James Jackson born 1883 in Whitehaven, Cumberland.

We always knew that he had lived in Canada, but weren't sure where, then on his brother Alfred Dale's army papers it was stated that his brother lived in Compeer, Alberta, Canada. Alfred was unfortunately killed in WW1.

And we know that he emigrated before 1911, any help with this would be wonderful, then we can try to find out what happened to him.

Thanks
