Thanks lads ...

It has to do with one of these ...

who I suspect is my late nan's fiancee who was killed in WW1. I have no idea which one but it would be good to track down his name. My other contacts tell me the postcard shows a group of TA sergeants from the DLI and of course their officer. This has narrowed down the search to a few possibilities. I was hoping to check the memorial in the village to see if any sergeants were mentioned and if so, what their names were.

I was down by visiting the DLI museum a couple of weeks ago and popped out to Sherburn past my nan's address 46 Front Street so I could have checked it out myself. At that time however, my curiosity had not been wound up!

If you want I can call in to the companions club not far from me and see if they have any info. I'm sure they run the ex DLI members meeting from their one evenig a week.

 

[Mr K]

Has this been sorted to the satisfaction of "scot boxer" ?

 

[Posh Pete]

A quick look here should explain.

 

[Mr K]
