Wow

Thanks everyone so much - for so long I've had a photo which has fascinated me - now a whole person has come to life! My mum said that the photo was "Sam - he was in the guards." I didn't know where to look! Many many thanks.

How did you find details of marriage and where they lived and good conduct badges Mack You're brilliant
