garfyboy Posted 27 October , 2012 Author Share Posted 27 October , 2012 Thanks chaps, getting somewhere, the uniform on J. C. DUNN? Anybody have a idea? If he I'd army cyclist corps of military foot police, does this uniform ring true? And how about Harry Daniels in the last pic, does that look like a royal west Kent badge to you ??? Not expecting answers on some of the chaps as almost impossible Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beery Posted 27 October , 2012 Share Posted 27 October , 2012 here is a close up of J. C. DUNNs collar badge?? J.C. Dunn's collar badge is the inner part of the York and Lancaster badge - i.e. without the scroll or the crown. Harry Daniels' cap badge is Royal Artillery. The bottom part of the wheel is just not catching the light as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deano Posted 28 October , 2012 Share Posted 28 October , 2012 JC Dunn is a possible 'Beaucamps Ligny' man, I also have him on the front page of my website. I think I know where that picture frame came from, I have been searching for that quita a while !! Sylvester Hill appears on the Carver street Wesleyan and Sunday School roll of honour here in Sheffield. The Chapel is now an Australian theme pub, I was told that there were 'two' picture frames with images hanging on the wall before it was turned into the pub. Then I was informed that they had been 'sold', this was a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garfyboy Posted 29 October , 2012 Author Share Posted 29 October , 2012 Well dean has come up trumps, all 17 of these chaps are on the above memorial, seven of whom were Kia/Dow , others named alongside their brothers who also served. Apparently there was another frame similar as they hung together for best part the last century, I would be very intrigued to find out where the other one may be, please do get in touch if you know of it whereabouts Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunndeb Posted 13 December , 2016 Share Posted 13 December , 2016 Hello Garfyboy I have just found your post on this site when I searched my Great Uncle's name Harold Cussens, his twin brother is my Grandpa, I have been trying to locate any photographs of Harold for some time now and it appears that you have one of him and my Grandpa Cussens! I would be so very grateful if you could please post any close up photos of them from the large frame or even email them to me. I hope you receive this message, thank you so very much if you could do this. I shall tell you more about Harold once I receive a reply and know you have received this message. Looking very much forward to hearing back from you at your earliest convenience. Debra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
