Hi Tony,

I've just seen this thread    could you possibly see whether there is any  mention of Garnet Sutcliffe (RFC), or Anna (Nancy) Wolstencroft (VAD) or her brother Cecil Barrow Wolstencroft (I do have his CWGC ref) in that paper please.

Anna was nursing in Ashton hospital but went to France (I have transcribed her diary from while she was out there) so I wondered if there might be anything about her in the paper.

This on top of the Mallalieus!!!  many thanks Tony, you're a star

3 kisses

Do you have a date for Garnet, I've got Cecil's from CWGC. I did see a whole page devoted to nurses somewhere between 1914-1918 so that should be a piece of cake send me some matchsticks for my poor old eyes

Cheers
Tony

LOL

Garnet didn't die (thank goodness or I'd not be here to bother you  )but the RFC was just new so he might have been a bit of a novelty  no need to specially search but if there's a mention of him anywhere the name Garnet (being such a common one) might just catch your eye

you can have 4 now  thank you

Cheers

Hello
I have been following this topic and found the research that has been done most interesting .
I was wondering whether you would like to read about Jack Judge , the composer of the famous WW1 song , "Its a long way to Tipperary" .
It originated in Stalybridge , Cheshire .
 Go to www.stalybridge.org.uk and click on Jack Judge Tribute . If you have speakers on your computers make sure they are on and sing along .
