Roupell Shooting Cup

Thanks, James!

I'll pursue those lines of enquiry! It would be good to get more info if I can - hubby's mother (Robert's grand-daughter) and her sister are both keen to know anything about him as they only have a few things their mother wrote down from memory before she died.

Even then, when Robert died his wife had died a year earlier in 1917 from a brain tumour, leaving 6 children orphaned!

I know he came from a family involved in the gun trade in Birmingham - pistol finishers and engravers and allied trades, so i suppose it's not surprising he knew how to handle firearms!

Thanks again for your input!

Regards, Stoney

Hello,

Its a long shot since this was posted so long ago, I was wondering if you found out any more information on Sgt Brown. He's my distant relative too and have the exact same photo in my family history boxes. Cheers in advance
