Ernest was my grandmother's brother. I have the original of that photo too.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, the Barnsley War Memorials Project are doing a Roll of Honour for all the Barnsley men who lost their lives in WW1. They would love to have a better photo of your great uncle for the ceremonial book. Please contact kingstonehistory@gmail.com
DeleteThanks,

I sent the photo on an email a week ago to Kingstonehistory@gmail.com with a brief description but have had no acknowledgement.
DeleteHi Karen - I'm sorry but I have no record of receiving your photo. I would normally acknowledge receipt straight away. Would you mind sending it again please. Thank you for chasing this up - whilst we have the photo above, a scan of an original is so much clearer. Many thanks Gill
DeleteHi Karen, I have emailed my colleague to enquire as to whether she has received your email. I am barnsleyhistorian@gmail.com if you want to send the photo to me instead. Sorry. Maybe she has been away? Linda
