Trying to reach DJ French

Accidentally came across your 2006 post referring to photo album of IV Hussars Lucknow 1925-1927 and the name PJ Harratt in the list of officers. 

Would be most interested in obtaining copy of any photos you may have of this person or the regiment.

Thanks. Austin O'Connor

Hi Austin

You now have enough posts to send a pm.

If you look under an avatar there should be a bright green scroll if the other person is online, if it is pale green they are off-line but you can still send a message for them to see next time they log on.

Happy hunting

Hello Deb,
I was fascinated to find your post about your Grandfather's album because you list a K.J.Catto as one of the men in a photo you have?  K.J.Catto (Kenneth James Catto) was my Grandfather's brother.  I have no photos of him and would dearly like to see what he looked like.  I am piecing together his history and would love to find out more about how he is linked to your Grandfather. 

What I do know is that K.J.Catto was in the 5th Lancers (Royal Irish) during WW1 then by the 1930's was in Kenya (4th Hussars).  He continued living in Kenya till his death in 1961.
 
 
Kind regards,
Charlotte Catto
