It is all down to personal opinion and people see what they want to see.Hi thanks for reply
I can't tell you how many times I have been told "I am my fathers daughter" and " You could never get away with anything as everyone knows who you belong to" I smile and say nothing as my father died when I was 17yrs old, and who they think my 'father' is is in fact my step father and I have no biological/genetic relationship to him at all
Good morning,
Last evening I looked at a thread referring to a James Smith and the Border regt. I went away and did some research and on my return, no thread and I hadn't noted where it had been posted.
However, the border regt and the VC had been mentioned. Only two James Smith with the VC in the Border regt that I could see. One got his in India late 1800s so not him.
The other was James Alexander Smith (born James Alexander Glenn). Regtl no 6423 3rd battalion Border regt but attached 2nd battalion. Got his VC dec 1914 for going out into no mans land with a private Acton and bringing in wounded men. Acton also received VC.
James died 1949, I can't do links on tablet but google him. It is all on there for the OP to see.
