Guest waterloo Posted 31 December , 2004 Share Posted 31 December , 2004 Hi I am researching my Grand Father's military career, he joined The Queen's in 1908 serving in Gibraltar, Burmuda and South Africa, before serving in the Great War. He was captured in 1917 and spent the remainder of the War as a POW in Germany. After the War he re-inlisted and spent a further 4 years with the Regiment. His Name : private Frederick F Rendall. I own a few photographs of his Regiment, does anyone else have any photographs, i would be happy to SWAP. regards john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ian Bowbrick Posted 31 December , 2004 Share Posted 31 December , 2004 Pictures of the Unit or his goodself? Try the photographic archive at the IWM or the Jervis Collection. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Russell.Gore@crawley.gov.uk Posted 9 January , 2005 Share Posted 9 January , 2005 Clandon House near Guildford houses a vast amount of QRWS memorabilia,well worth a visit. Who or what is the Jervis collection ? (excuse mental block on this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie250 Posted 9 January , 2005 Share Posted 9 January , 2005 Yes Clandon House is a good bet, very helpful to, they even hold the nominal rolls for some of the regular battalions just prior to out break of war in 1914. Not sure but I think it is only open between march and october, I live just round the corner from there and the last time I went they were still operating on a donation basis.

Guest Russell.Gore@crawley.gov.uk Posted 9 January , 2005 Share Posted 9 January , 2005 Hi again,I seem to recall that Dover Castle Museum,seems to hold a lot of QRWS stuff,maybe worth it to give them a call,plus have you tried the local Newspapers of the time,there may wll be a picture and an obituary in them,the local library should have these or failing that the National News paper Library at Hendon will have them,finally,what IS the Jervis collection ???????

Blackie250 Posted 10 January , 2005 Share Posted 10 January , 2005 I found Dover to be rather poor compared to Clandon House, Clandon House is purely QRWS rather than Dover covering the 12 regiments amalgamated over the years to make up the PWRR. I would opt for clandon house there is more reference material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
