Guest Posted 17 August , 2017 Share Posted 17 August , 2017 4 hours ago, mrfrank said: Hello Dick.....you wouldn't happen to have access to an image of Edward Graeme Ozanne who I believe was educated at Rugby School. He was KIA on 16Feb15 with 3rd Bn Royal Fusiliers. There is a picture of Captain Edward Graeme Ozanne in "Rugbeians who Fell in the War", Vol.I. The picture there can be found also by typing his name into Google and selecting "Images". It has been used on a website called "Our Heroes", which details casualties from County Down-Ozanne had connections through his mother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfrank Posted 18 August , 2017 Share Posted 18 August , 2017 (edited) Thanks for the reply.....found that image. I've got an un-named 3rd RF officer group photo taken at Lucknow in 1914 and trying to confirm whether the chap seated first row far right is EG Ozanne.....there's certainly a likeness, but it's difficult when comparing different images that are often not great quality. Many thanks. Edited 18 August , 2017 by mrfrank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 2 September , 2017 Share Posted 2 September , 2017 Q for bigronhartley you were asking about Jeremiah Watson some time ago, possibly with the Royal Garrison Artillery.
