Hi and welcome back.

There are sizing constaints on the forum so it might be better to correspond off-forum.

Please exchange email addresses via the personal message system, click on the clip-board looking icon under each users avatar to access this. If it is glowing bright green, there is a good chance the other chatter is on-line.

Hello Deb,
I was fascinated to find your post about your Grandfather's album because you list a K.J.Catto as one of the men in a photo you have?  K.J.Catto (Kenneth James Catto) was my Grandfather's brother.

What I do know is that K.J.Catto was in the 5th Lancers (Royal Irish) during WW1 then by the 1930's was in Kenya (4th Hussars).  He continued living in Kenya till his death in 1961.
 
 
Kind regards,
Charlotte Catto

Your relative is listed in the book 'The Harp and Crown'  a History of the 5th Royal Irish Lancers.  He was awarded the MC ... the book is available online .. the photo reproduction in the printed version is not good so I prefer the ebook 

My grandfather was a Bandsmanwith the 5th Lancers serving from 1906 to 1915.
