Hello all, I am trying to help a friend out regarding this chap :

Romeo Guy Labrosse was born in 1927 and was a member of the  1st Canadian parachute battalion from 1944 until 1946, I was wondering if anyone could find a positive death for him, I only have a UK sub to Ancestry and FindMyPast so am unable to clarify a death for him which is possibly in 1999, any information would as always be very gratefully appreciated.

Hi 
I have for a while now, added a thread on my local history FaceBook page about local lads who died in the First World War on the one hundred year anniversary of their death.

It is coming up to the anniversary of the last man's death from 1917 in a weeks time and I have his early life in England, however he left England and fought in the A.I.F after enlisting on the 2nd of February 1915 at Keswick? South Australia and subsequently lost his life on the 18th of December 1917 whilst serving as a Lieutenant in the 2nd Battalion Australian Pioneers.

I have a very good history of his service from the National Archives of Australia which tells me everything I could wish to know, however, would it be possible for someone to point me in the direction of a date for his entry into Australia? his service record shows that his port of entry was Adelaide South Australia, however I would ideally like a date, just to finish his story off.

Many thanks for your time in reading my post and as always my very best regards.

Added, he was born in Doncaster and his parents were Robert and Mary Armstrong, they remained in England when George left home, George was born about 1884.
Just found him in 1911 in Doncaster so entry would be after that date.

Hi,  I have recently received a number of photographs from a family member, among them is this one, I have absolutely no idea who he is 

He could possibly be a member of the Sisson or Hebden family but I have no idea at all, is it possible for someone to give a date please, the back is plain and the photograph measures 2inches x 1and 3/4 inches and looks to have been cut out of an album.

Many thanks in anticipation of your time and kind replies and as always, my very best regards.

Hi, I have recently received the attached photograph and was wondering if anyone could offer any answers to my questions.

I think the photograph was taken around 1914 - 1918 but could be wrong, my question is, why would the woman be wearing the uniform of a soldier, including the cap, complete with badge of the Kings own Yorkshire light Infantry?.
On the back is written "Your neice Reed Sarah on gurde" (spellings as per the writing) it is addressed to "Unkle joaniss c/o Mr Brunyee Goole Fields Goole" (again spellings as per the writing).

Or, is it a later photograph and she is just posing for the photograph in the uniform of say, a family member or a loved one?

Any thoughts or input would as always be greatly appreciated.

Frank.

I just thought I would post this.............................................

Just in case...................
