"COMPLETED" Can someone have a go at reading a name please
« on: Saturday 24 October 09 12:22 BST (UK) »
Can someone have a go at reading the christian name of the soldier whose surname is Hargreaves and who is listed  5'5" tall. It's the middle line of the scan.

Pels and LoneyBones have already made a suggestion which I hope is not correct as it would mean this isn't my man after all.  :(

All help , suggestions appreciated.

Thank you,
charlotte

I looked at the scan without reading Tati's reply first and I also think the name is Sam(and a small)l.  :)

I saw it as Sam (then a small l), before looking at what others thought.
