thank you so much for your input on this, everything helps!!! Did they have Hussars in England?,I not very knowledgeable on the subject. Kind regards Mrs. J. Newton.

Hi, My Dad says that his Dad certainly did serve in India prior to the second world war war, he later on ended up in Dunkirk in The Royal Artillery [can they swap regiments?]like my Dad said?. He was taken off the beaches at Dunkirk, shot in the foot, shrapnel, after that he was sent to Aldershot to train fresh recruits for the rest of the war, they would never let him go back, which probably saved his life!.Thank ypu so much for your input, very helpful, written everything down!!. Kind regards J. Newton..

Thank you so much

Thank you so much, that is a great help. Kin regards J. Newton.

These men were friends of William John Beadle, would be interested in their regiment too, I can then label the photo's. My son Sam is really into War History, and it is so fascinating, once again, any input would be gratefully received. Kind regards Mrs. Jeanette Newton.

The guy on the left as you look on this picture is William John Beadle, we think was taken in India?, as far as my Dad can remember, but he and I would love to know what regiment?, can anyone steer in the right direction.He [William John Beadle] actually was at Dunkirk when they were rescued from the beaches, my Dad said he never talked about it, this picture was taken early on in his career, he was, we believe, a drill sargeant later on.Any information is gratefully received, Kind Regards Jeanette Newton.

Thank you so much for the trouble you took to reply, I am thrilled, this is the most we have ever known about James Carter.The badge between the the spur and chevrons, my son thought it was a winged horse, but am wondering whether Dragon might be correct, I will look up Portcullis as not sure what that looks like. Do you think these are the more likely Badges for him?, I would love to know if he actually fought or was just an instructor, as I know nothing of the life he may of lead. I understand it is hard to look up service records in this field. It is a shame the picture isn't more clear, we always tried to make out the Badge between the spur and chevrons, we wondered if there were many for that era?,hoping to narrow it down!!. My Grandad told me, his Dad loved horses, unfortunately James Carter died in about 1916 when my Grandad was about 8 years old., he was a Stevedore then, he fell into a dry dock, so sad, but that is all we know,his poor wife had about 10 children to bring up on her own!.She , Alice Maria took to cobbling just to survive. We only know that in 1901 he was living in West Ham, so we gather he must have left the army before that time, what time frame we have no idea. But, thank you so much, I know my Mum and Dad will be thrilled when I show them your reply this morning, my Mum is James Carter's grandaughter, shame she never got to know him. All input is greatly received, every person has a story to be told,when I look at him, I can only wonder, but gratefully you have given me some idea. Once again thank you, Kind regards Mrs. Jeanette Newton.

Hi, I am new to all this, I have posted a photo of my Great Grandad, born 1861, we believe that he was a Rough Rider,and may have been based at Woolwich, it says you are looking for photo's of soldiers, just thought you may be interested just to take a look, Kind Regards Jeanette Newton.

Born in the U.K, in about 1861, Iden, Sussex,we cannot find anything on our Great Grandad, picture quality doesn't help I know, but I am new to this site, just learning, Kind regards Jeanette Newton.
