Medal Card for John G



The image is not showing to me? Looks like a broken link?

Cheers

Fouldes.<br />Any area where our family are.  My branch started around Derbyshire, Nott's and Yorkshire.  We ended up in South Lincolnshire!  So yay!  Course any area with Fouldes in would help!  See my family tree below for what gaps I have!  Cheers!

Would also like to see any Beaumont's from Sheffield as I have lots of family photos & can't identify them!!

His Medal Index Card shows no 1914/ 1915 date of Embarkation hence no entitlement to 1914 / 1915 Star
The link to Wiki on page 1 shows the Regiment went to France first in 1916 then to Salonika
ShaunJ link to his Attestation papers shows he went to Salonika on 1 September 1916 as previously stated on page 1

As an addition I have this photo of John Gibson Fouldes, no date. It is a postcard photo to his wife.

On the other side he says:
"Dear Wife, I have sent you photo. Best we could get. Hope you are having some good weather. From your husband Jack"

Lovely to have his handwriting.

Sadly no postage mark so it was probably in an envelope or something.
I think he is at the back (second left). I wonder who the other chaps are. There must be a family out there who also have this photo, or have no idea this exists!

Cheers
