Title: R Teague
Post by: Archivist_47 on Tuesday 03 July 18 10:14 BST (UK)

Corporal R Teague won the Junior Epee Championship in 1934. He taught fencing after the war in Folkestone. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to track him down. He's dead as far as I know.

A Corporal H Teague of the Royal Horse Guards helped the army team win the interservices epee championship in Jun 1938 - same man I wonder?  The initial difference may obstruct the search!

Could be he had a couple of initials. I'll keep trawling. Thanks for your input.

Rosie's spot opens another possible avenue. QMSI, although not exclusively, strongly suggests the Army Physical Training Corps (now Royal).  Help from the museum?
