I am interested to know more about my grandfather Edward Thomas Cowdrey who was in the buffs in Egypt and Palestine in the 1920's. He was KOM and PEP. I am not sure what PEP means. I will try and attach a photo.

I have a note on my father's record:

"27-1-39   Dad initiated (96367) into RAOB, Blue Nile Lodge – No 6310"

I recall him having a medal that was (I think) white and silver with a bit of blue, on a ribbon.

Can you enlarge at all?
Richard Wernham (Berkshire 18th century),
William Hissey (1805 to 1813, Hampstead Norris),
Kapirin (Siberia 19th Century),
Kitching 1850,
Mary Howse born 1806 ish,
Chris Truelove marr. John Pocock 2-7-1696, Kintbury, Berks

Hi, I'm trying to find information about my great-grandfather. My mum has a medal presented to Bro. Percy A. Wilkinson, the letters look like CP - could that be GP? Walverden Lodge 4781, 13th November 1932. She also has a pin which says Primo, and a rather scrappy blue ribbon with the letters GLE.
He lived in Padiham, then Nelson, Lancashire, before moving to Morecambe after surviving being struck by lightning. I can remember big buffalo horns over the fireplace from when I was a child, but he died in about 1946 so that's well before my time.
Can anyone help?

hi,

My great grandad was Edward Lynch born 1866 Huddersfield. He lived in Lowerplace Castleton Rochdale until approx 1905 and then moved to Middleton Manchester. We were told he was a buffalo member.

Please see attached pic of him. Any info of where they met or anything else would be great.

Thanks

IT WILL NOT LET ME ATTACH THE PHOTO - TOO LARGE - NEVER MIND
