Guest Russ_H Posted 7 July , 2010 Share Posted 7 July , 2010 Hello, I'm posting this on behalf of a friend. The photograph shows his grandfather, Robert Curry, on the day of his marriage to Margaret Brown. They married in 1915. Robert was from Newbottle, near Sunderland. Any help with identification of uniform or unit would be much appreciated. Regards, Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Stewart Posted 7 July , 2010 Share Posted 7 July , 2010 Hi Russ - a bit small the photo, but I managed to download it and blew it up to a larger size and would think it's either the East Yorks or Cheshire Regt, as it appears star shaped with a scroll below. Sadly it blurs before you can get a good look at it. Worth checking the Medal Index Cards for a Robert Curry serving with either, but the name 'Curry' is fairly common throughout the North East.
