Sue Light Posted 24 November , 2008 Share Posted 24 November , 2008 The 1901 census does bring up a Cecil M. Baillie the daughter of a solicitor, living in South-East London, born in 1899. So could fit, although it makes her quite young to be in France. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Riley Posted 24 November , 2008 Share Posted 24 November , 2008 Cecil seems to be a perfectly acceptable Victorial Christian name as in the authoress of The Reason Why, Cecil Woodham Smith (born 1896). However it came as something of a shock to me at the age of 15 in the 1960's to find that this was a lady. Ladies didn't write good military history (at least, not in my sheltered little world of the innocent early sixties). Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshdoc Posted 25 November , 2008 Author Share Posted 25 November , 2008 I must admit I thought it was Cecile or Cecelia, but prehaps it was indeed Cecil. If as such a female I cannot understand why the huge (monetary) value placed on this particular group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If as such a female I cannot understand why the huge (monetary) value placed on this particular group. Me neither. Not a casualty. Just an ordinary pair to the QMAAC. Amazing what can happen when two people have a yen for the same item in an auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
