brindlerp Posted 10 December , 2003 Author Share Posted 10 December , 2003 Many thanks for the information Dick. Looks as though the biography needs updating to include his coming out of retirement for WW1 as Colonel, Depot, Warwick. Regards Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
