Hi,

 The first card shows "Uncle John Harrison, Eda Browns Father" The second card confirms the younger man as William Calvert.

 

John Harrison. B.1876 Stockport married Hannah in 1900. Daughter Eda B. 1904.   His sister Sarah (B.1861) married William Calvert, they had 7 children, 6 girls, and a son; William B.1898. Stockport.

William Snr. died 1911,  Sarah died 1914.

 

John Harrison is badged to the Cheshire Regt. and wears a stripe. (The only L/Cpl.John Harrison in the rolls is 69481, formerly 59181 13th / 9th Manchester Regt.)

William Calvert wears T - RFA - Cheshire shoulder titles ( No. Block 735001 - 740000 ). 

 

 Can anyone help with any service details for either man please.
