Hi, we’re looking for any possible group photos of my wife’s great uncle Horace Edwin Smith R/15369 who died at the Somme 10/07/1916 and now buried at Thiepval cemetery France , my wife has only recently become aware that she had two great uncles , the other a Coldstreamer that died 25/12/1942 in Tunisia. Any photos or information would be greatly appreciated thank you
 
hi pete i cant help with photos but i take it you know that his army service records survived and are on ancestry...address given as 1/27 anderton street sandpits ?

Hi Lyn, thank you for your message, yes we have searched his details on myheritage , unfortunately we have been unable to find any photos of what he looked like and just wondered if there where group photos maybe when he enlisted or during his short time in France

Pete
 
right ok pete so at least you have got his army service records which i have just read and which always makes interesting reading and can very often throw up info we didnt know about

lyn
 
Thanks again Lyn, we live in hope that someone out there may possibly have a photo of a relative with his mate Horace standing next to him ,

never give up pete....there could well be a photo out there somewhere...the online british newspaper archives could be a place to try...i have seen photos of men who died during ww1 in the papers when reporting their deaths
