Well he's a pre war territorial as he has the "Imperial Service" badge on...

One could perhaps have a go at the shoulder title, but again Sandy...Sorry duck...not at this resolution!  ;) ;)
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.

Hi again Scrimnet.

I have found a list of people with numbers on the back from my relly who gave me them.

He notes it as Sidney Arthur Eady.

Hi Ady

Well it said named passed on so I think we could take that as a yes.

Especially seeing the family were from Northamptonshire.

Could you please put me on the link to the medal cards if not inconvenient.

Thank you once again.

Sandy

Hi Phil

I have just found Sydney's pension record and there is a letter from my Great Uncle
asking not to send him to the front. So Sad as it must have been for so many.

Could you explain M.I.C. please if it does not mean Mentioned in casualties.

Also where do you find this extra information.

T.I.A.
