Yes, I had that. 175 Southmead Road was my grandmothers home address and the other was where she and, later possibly, my grandfather also worked. I believe he was a chauffeur but when that was i don't know. But those addresses aren't related to pre WW1 days for my grandfather.

Sorry to jump in!

I was wondering if there is any documentation of 3rd The Kings Own Hussars delivering/removing the German currency post-WW2? my nanny is always telling me my granddad was in Germany after the war and did a week/10 day journey as part of the group that either delivered the new German currency or disposed of the old. 
My granddad was in from 1946 -1950 when he was discharged after a motorbike accident in Germany.

I hope someone will know - or know where i can find out!

Many thanks
Emma

Sorry Emma I have no knowledge of that. When the war ended my grandfather was in an officer training camp.
