annette masters Posted 22 September , 2005 Share Posted 22 September , 2005 Hi , I came upon this site while muddling through trying to find info. on these people , I am totally lost and any help would be really appreciated. I am looking for ancestors of or info . about Brigadier Thomas John Robert Langmaid born in England in 1887 ,commissioned from Sandhurst in1908 into A.S.C., He accompanied B.E.F to France at the outbreak of WW1. Mentioned in Dispatches and awarded M.C. He had quite the career in the army and was also awarded the C.V.O. for work in connection with influx of troops for coronation of King George V1.He retired in 1944, and lived in Miami Florida at the time of his death in 1965. Brig. Langmaid also had a twin brother Charles William Langmaid . I understand he joined the Special Volunteers Reserve in 1908 and was commissioned from Sandhurst in 1910 into the A.S.C, was made Temp.Capt in 1914. Invalided out of army in 1918. In 1965 was known to reside in Jamaica . Thanks from the new girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Nulty Posted 22 September , 2005 Share Posted 22 September , 2005 Annette You'd have been better posting this in "Soldiers". All I could find were a few London Gazette entries at http://london-gazette.co.uk Thomas John Robert Langmaid From Captain to Temporary Major - Gazette 29039, 12/01/1915 Charles William Langmaid Retirement - Gazette 30803, 16/07/1918 Promotion to Captain – Gazette 29874, 19/12/1916 Military Cross award - Gazette 29024, 29/12/1914 (This was also the edition of the Gazette which announced the introduction of the Military Cross) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your help is greatly appreciated . Do you know what the h.p list is ---- half pay ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebie9173 Posted 24 September , 2005 Share Posted 24 September , 2005 Links to the ones I posted last night: 1-12-1914 : Issue 28992 13-1-1915 : Issue 29039 14-1-1915 : Issue 29040 18-2-1915 : Issue 29074 19-7-1917 : Issue 30191 You can save and print these pages as they are in PDF format. Don't know about the "h.p. list". Half-pay sounds plausible... Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
