Hambo Posted 28 April , 2009 Share Posted 28 April , 2009 Dick I think these are the last three that I haven't got and I have a good lead on two the last is a bit of a long shot as I don't know the school D.E.D. Taylor left for Uppingham in the summer of 1909 which I assume means he started in September probably Royal Fusiliers J.R. Taylor which could well be a brother left for Rugby School in the spring of 1907 it says Northumberland Fusiliers in the school records but I don't have a rank Don't know the first names of those two or if they're related Lastly and this is the long shot A.F. Bell I'm afraid all I have is that he left in the summer of 1910 for the "Lower School Berkhampstead" the records say "for hygenic reasons" the mind boggles! I can only assume there is an Upper School and if there is he may have gone on there Whenever you have the time as I am aware of the demands we all make on your time Thanks as always John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
