My grandfather, George Barton, was a founder member of the Forget Me Not Club in Tyburn Road.
He lived in Gunter Road and was renowned for his gardening skills, even being featured in the local paper in February 1953. He grew roses in China and potatoes in the Himalayas during his armed service. He was well decorated apprently, doing service in Tirah in 1897 and in the Boxer Rebellion.
Herein lies a query. Does anyone have any idea which regisment he may have served in? He was born George Costello and and some point decided he didn't like the name so I don't even know whether he enlisted as Barton or Costello.
Ps I'm new to this game, so if I'm doing something wrong, please tell me!
