Don't have the qualifications to help, but have been following along since the beginning of this adventure. Congratulations to all of you. Your knowledge is amazing and your results are fabulous. Thanks you for an interesting and incredible journey to India before the war.:)

Hello Rich, thank you for your words. I for one have learnt a lot by contributing to this thread as have others involved. Please join in on any thread you see and that you are interested in, by joining in you will enjoy learning, this is not school. Sometimes other members  responses will put you in your place so to speak but that is  in my mind what the Forum is all about. I have made some horrendous blunders, however admit to them, realise them and continue. Be courteous, ask questions and enjoy. I am listed as 'Lt Colonel' but that means nothing other than the amount of posts I have made. I am learning and enjoying all the time, with the help of the members of the Forum, to whom I thank. I do not have the qualifications either but Please join in some more. With my best wishes, Bob.

35 is indeed Harold Lewis--the numbers look more like 55 on my screen or could it be my eyes :rolleyes: Yes, I think it is my eyes!!

I have his medals and so researched him many years ago.

Hi

 

I have been researching the Military Service of the Lewis Family. Especially Harold Lewis.

I have attached two pictures of Harold’s brothers both KIA

Major Vernon Lewis  KIA Boer War 27th.02.1900 & Lt Col Donald Swain Lewis RFC - D.S.O KIA 1916

PS can you please send a copy of Harold Lewis Medals?

Hi @Phil Baker and welcome to the forum.

You can definately see a family resemblance - and a fantastic picture of Vernon :)

A super rare view of the practice of officers wearing shoulder titles on khaki drill uniform.  The simple, early pattern SF is not often seen.  Thank you for posting.

Hello Phil,

Welcome to the Forum,

Also thank you for posting the photos of Harold's brothers--I had realised that one was killed in WW1 but had not picked up on the Boer War chap--do you have their medals? Do you have any original photos of Harold?

What is your interest in Harold? If you let me have an email address (via a PM) then I can send you an image of his medals.

Best, Robert
