World War One / Regiment identification
« on: Sunday 17 March 13 21:31 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all. i recently aquired this photo of my great grandfather and brother in law. my great grand father is standing at the back , he was in the Northumberland fusiliers and was called John Johnston and lived at the time in Blyth Northumberland. I was wondering if anybody could tell me what the star means on his sleeve. He died of the spanish flu in 1919  and is buried at cowpen in Blyth in the same grave as his mother in law.

I would be interested if anyone could id the regiment of the soldier sitting down.

We believe his name was Tom Symmington but  changed his sir name to his partners name when he ran away with her.

thank you in anticipation

Hi all.

I was wondering if any one could tell me which highland regiment formed the thin red line during the crimean war. I was once told a story from an old relative about her relations being there.

thanks in anticipation
