The Guardroom Posted 11 August , 2009 Share Posted 11 August , 2009 Hoping someone may be able to help do a look up on Ancestry when they next go into it. I think the men below were 2 brothers and may be 2 cousins, but not to sure from Family history. If anyone could help out and email me if they managed to find something, I would appreciate it. S Lofty is the most mysterious as he does not appear on the village war memorial after perhaps DOW in 1919 ?????

andy1484 Posted 11 August , 2009 Share Posted 11 August , 2009 Hi Have found service records for Herber Henry Lofty and S. Lofty, whose name is Sidney by the way.
