HarryBrook Posted 2 August , 2016 Share Posted 2 August , 2016 It's a shame the photo is 1924 because a John Henry Francis Collingwood was gazetted to The Bays on 3.9.1925, and on the end of the back row is where you would expect to find the most junior of officers. https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/33081/page/5836 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick1914 Posted 28 September , 2019 Share Posted 28 September , 2019 Dear All, trying to find more information on Ventura Harry Misa in 1914. The above post says he was at Nery. I also understand he was wounded in 1914 and evacuated to UK and Millbank Hospital. Anyone know the date and where? Also was he part of the initial Royal Scots Greys deployment from Southhampton arriving Havre 17th August 1914 on SS Blackwell? I have quite a bit of biographical info on him but any ideas which school he attended? Many thanks, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1940 I believe he was living at 'The Uplands, Edgehill, Banbury. Oh, and if you did not know he was a Catholic. Regards, Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick1914 Posted 25 October , 2019 Share Posted 25 October , 2019 Matthew, this is great, filled in a big gap which I had been searching for sometime and opens up more searching possibilities. Best regards, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
