Phil Wood Posted 9 April , 2015 Share Posted 9 April , 2015 Hello Dick, another request for my Newbury research: Gerald Morton Stamford, Lancing College (1906-1912). In checking whether you had Lancing books I notice you have Christ's Hospital too. I have several who went there (off to look them up). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Wood Posted 10 April , 2015 Share Posted 10 April , 2015 As ever you're a star Dick - many thanks. Crocker and Pratt aren't on Christ's war memorial so I'm not surprised they aren't on a roll of honour. Pratt's death in Nov 1921 was attributed to his wartime service by his family and he is on the parish church memorial, but not the main town memorial - an odd case.

Phil Wood Posted 19 April , 2015 Share Posted 19 April , 2015 Hello again Dick - yet another call on your generosity! Gordon Noel Balfour Swinley, Clifton College (Lt KOSB kia 23/6/15) He also attended the 'United Services College, Windsor', which I assume to be the United Services College, Devon or the Imperial Services College, WIndsor - though it may have been both as he probably was a pupil when the latter absorbed the former in 1906. Anything you have from these three schools would be gratefully received, In hope - Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myrtle Posted 22 May , 2015 Share Posted 22 May , 2015 Thank you very much Dick. Yes I have seen the photographs. While volunteering at K & C Local Studies, listing the WW1 entries from the local newspaper, I noticed the information which had been put up on the website re. H.J.R. Brierly and thought I would check out some of the details to expand on his story. His son Timothy Brierly was one of the Founders of Oxfam's African aid programme. http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/community/obituaries/obits/8800377.TIM_BRIERLY__A_charity_adventurer/?ref=arc Regards Maggie (Myrtle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Wood Posted 27 July , 2015 Share Posted 27 July , 2015 Hello Dick, yet another request for my Newbury research:I am looking for information on Lionel Somerset, who seems to have attended Cranleigh School - he survived the war (two of his brothers didn't), but I'd love to confirm he attended Cranleigh, and. if he did, the years he was there. If he did then perhaps one or more of his brothers also went to Cranleigh? They were Francis Henry (Frank), Edmund Edgerley, Edward Owen and Burchall. In hope, Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBrockway Posted 27 July , 2015 Share Posted 27 July , 2015 Dick, Do you have by any chance a Roll of Honour, Register or similar for Wilson's Grammar School, Camberwell? Another topic ( Possible photo of 2/Lt AJ BAILEY, 17/KRRC) has linked an unmarked photograph with 2/Lt Alfred John BAILEY, 17/KRRC, KiA 03 Sep 1916, son of Alfred James BAILEY and Ada Emmeline BAILEY of 120 Grove Lane, Camberwell. He was born c. 1897 and probably left the school between 1913 and 1915. His KRRC obit states he was "a fine athlete at his school," so he is likely to get a mention. A photograph would be marvellous as it would allow us to confirm the other photo beyond reasonable doubt. Many thanks! Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
