I have taken advantage of the free ancestry offer and have found two of my relatives on a members tree. They are Benjamin Adolphus Felix King b1888 d 1959 and his son Graham James King b1919 died 1974. There are documents attached to this tree which I can’t see. I was hoping there might be photos, etc. I would be very grateful if someone could take a look. Many thanks Chrisx

Looks as if he joined the army when he came out of Feltham, I wonder what he did wrong? Funnily enough Feltham is still a place for young offenders and was on the news today because it has improved a bit from being a very violent and unsafe place for young people. Thank you for looking this all up for me. X
