Paul Bradley (iowbee@hotmail.com) is researching men involved the Great War from Brighstone. See below.
All on Brighstone Roll of Honour, but can find nothing on Ancestry or IOW History Site to link with Brighstone
Appear in IOWCP October 1914.
WILLIAM DAY ROYAL NAVY COASTGUARD
WILLIAM DAY JNR ROYAL NAVY HMS NATAL (Roll shows he won a Meritorious Service Medal)
WALTER ELEY ROYAL NAVY COASTGUARD PORTSMOUTH
Not in IOWCP but on role.
FREDERICK OLD ROYAL NAVY
SIDNEY OLD ARMY
WILLIAM OLD ARMY
There is a family of OLD (brothers Walter Frederick, Sidney Walter and William Arthur) in West Kington Dorset. Probably them, but what is the IOW / Brighstone connection!!!
ANYTHING gratefully received
Paul Bradley
