peteg Posted 4 February , 2005 Share Posted 4 February , 2005 Whilst trying to "dig and delve" for info on my Grandfather, I've come across two names that have some relevence to his past. If anyone could give me some clues, I'd be grateful. 1) Lance Corporal T. Mannix. (7470) Kings Own (Royal Lancaster) Rgt. I think he was a Kings Own man pre 1914. His name is on a silver band around Grandads swagger stick so I assume the stick was aquired from him. 2) Miles Houghton. (Grandads brother) b.1881, Radcliffe Lancs. He was a career soldier, not Kings Own, and that's all I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrtle Posted 4 February , 2005 Share Posted 4 February , 2005 The mics show only one Miles Houghton RFA Reg no: 11676 He appears to have been Battery Serjeant Major acting WO Class1 and then a Captain, again with the RFA. Myrtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteg Posted 4 February , 2005 Author Share Posted 4 February , 2005 Myrtle, Many thanks for your reply regarding Miles. My mother did make a reference to him being an officer but apart from being "Uncle Miles" nothing else. She's 90 next month so maybe I know more about him in 10 mins than her 90 yrs. I'll tell her. Thanks again. Regards. peteg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
