Hi Madeleine, THanks for your lovely offer, could you look up VALENTINE SMITH b 1884, lived in Bromley district Thanks Teri x

Thank you for your very kind offer. Looking for Edward Woodhouse born around 1898 please. He was in the Middx regiment. No 54143. Many thanks Irene

Madeline, Thank you so much for your time in having a look for Dudley Blake PRIOR. I am sorry I couldnt pin down where he was living at the time of enlistment. I cant even find his first marriage, nor the births of his two sons. The WH Prior Kennsington could be his uncle but I will not bother you in trying to trace that one, as I was really after Dudley. You have been most helpful, Thanks Janis (NSW Australia)

Madeline - many thanks for your time. Regrettably, no Huse. Howard

Hi Madeline, thanks for trying to find my Henry Smith. He could have come from either the Old Kent Road or Camberwell. The only thing I know for sure is that he served in the Devonshire Regiment and then transferred to Royal Warwickshire Regiment. I would be really grateful if you could spare the time to do another look up on this for me. Also many thanks for finding my Thomas Wisbey. You have given me information that I would never have known about him. Look forward to your reply for Henry Smith (my grandfather). Regards Gillian

Hi Madeline Thank you for your kind offer. Could you see if you have anything on Charles John Bowyer, born in Mile End Old Town, London who would probably enrolled from the West Ham, London area since that is where he was living at the time of the War. Hopefully you can find him since I have not had any definitive luck with the medal lists. Thanks for your time. Sandra from Ontario, Canada
