It appears Edmund only attended Sherborne in the VIth form for the last two years of his schooling - I don't suppose there is any indication of where he had been educated before that ? Richard Richard, Edmund was at Wellington before Sherborne. If you google him you will find an IWM file, with portrait and clippiong from memorial book. schoo lmagazine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stiletto_33853 Posted 24 November , 2016 Share Posted 24 November , 2016 Dick, I wonder if you could help me regarding a Reginald Edwards, Repton School, OTC 1912, 13 & 14. Any information would be gratefully received due to conflicting information being received from his officers file and reports of a motor accident in Sheerness in 1915.

stiletto_33853 Posted 25 November , 2016 Share Posted 25 November , 2016 (edited) Hi John, Thanks, his officers file has quite a few comments regarding this and yet later in the file on his active service form it states 3rd Rifle Brigade wounded in action on 11/10/18, returned home to the UK on 13/10/18. Yet another misfile by the NA. Andy Edited 25 November , 2016 by stiletto_33853 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rflory Posted 27 November , 2016 Author Share Posted 27 November , 2016 Andy: Reptonian School Register 1922 shows: Edwards, Reginald Born 226 May 1897, the son of the late A W Edwards, Canfield, Surbitton Educated at Repton School from Sept. 1911 to Dec. 1914 Appointed 2nd Lt, 6th Rifle Bde SR in Dec 1914 Accidentally killed at Sheerness. 15 June 1915.

stiletto_33853 Posted 27 November , 2016 Share Posted 27 November , 2016 (edited) Thank you Dick, his officers file confirms that. His record of Service however, which covers quite a few pages, says otherwise. I can see where the mistake has been made, Edwards/Edwardes 5th/6th RB just seem to be coming across quite a few of these files that have not been put together properly or with lack of attention.

rflory Posted 17 December , 2016 Author Share Posted 17 December , 2016 James: Is this your man? Stanley Douglas Selby Sumner Born on 5 July 1885 Lived at The Knole, Eltham, Kent Educated at Dulwich College from 18 Dec 1897 to July 1903 His brother, Horace Bertram Sumner also attended Dulwich College Not listed in the Dulwich College War Record 1914-1919 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banstead100 Posted 17 December , 2016 Share Posted 17 December , 2016 That's him. I had a suspicion he might not be in the War Record and possibly not on the College war memorial too as his war service was not mentioned in the Dulwich College Register. He served with the 12th East Surreys and was killed on 20th January 1917. Many thanks for checking. Kind Regards, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Wood Posted 4 March , 2017 Share Posted 4 March , 2017 Hello Dick - if I could ask for your help once again. I am researching Alfred Peel who attended Bradford Grammar School and Kingswood School, Bath. If you have sources for either school I'd be gratful for anything they have for Peel. If either source exists and goes beyond the fallen to those who served I'd also love to know if Alfred's brother Edward Percy Peel is mentioned. In hope.

keithmroberts Posted 4 March , 2017 Share Posted 4 March , 2017 Phil I have sent you a pm. The November 1920 edition of the Bradfordian has a list of all old boys whose names were to be added to the school memorial, again A Peel is included. I took some selective photographs from the wartime editions in the Bradford Local Studies Library seemingly back in 2014. don't know if they still have the material as much was disposed of when they were obliged to change premises. The school at one stage apparently started to collect photographs of old boys who had fallen. I ahve not followed this up as the archives were sealed off for building work when I found the references. Theyshould be back in business now. I could see no mention of a brother in the pages that I copied. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
