Thanks. I recognise some of those names - particularly Major Bob Attoe, who used to run the KSLI Museum, and Major JG James, who commanded 1 KSLI at Anzio

Hi

I also found entries for TJB Bosvile in the Rifle Brigade - possibly a brother?

 Thomas James Bolle Bosvile, born 18th September 1897, Ravenfield, :-

CWGC has the additional info a bit wrong. TJBB's mother was Blanche Harriette, his father was Thomas Bolle Bosvile, born second qtr 1859, Ravenfield, Rotherham. Thomas Bolle Bosvile was the son of Thomas Bosvile from his first marriage. Godfrey (JGBB's father), born second quarter 1864 was issue from T Bosvile's second marriage. Godfrey, also born at Ravenfield, was, therefore, TB Bosviles' half brother. That makes TJB Bosvile and JGB Bosvile half cousins?

Ravenfield Park, the family seat, was sold in lots in 1920. In a later conflict the hall was used as a POW camp. Vandalised post WW2 and unoccupied, the hall was destroyed by arson in the 1960s. Some of the original parkland is now used by a fishing club.

Hope this helps and isn't too inaccurate!

Kind Regards

Derek
