Victor Denton
« on: Saturday 18 May 13 22:36 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for the parents of Victor Denton who was killed in Gallipoli during WW1.

I believe that there could be a connection with  a Thomas Peter Denton who was born in Bolton,Lancashire, England in 1855 and died in Nobby Queensland in 1933.

Any info please

Regards,
Pete.

Hi,

Page 20 on Victor's military records there is a receipt for victory medals signed by Thos. P  Denton.
Page 21 receipt for a memorial plague signed by Thomas Peter Denton.

Not sure if that helps you any.
