Thank you for that Phil .I will now take that up and get back to you well done,also to let you know I also was a private,and bandsman for the whole of the 6years I was in. Thinking back there was members of my family living in Edred Rd.
Vic - how about this chap - Sapper S.J. Matcham of the Royal Engineers who also lived at 75 Edred Road? Apologies that's it a little blurry. This one is from June 1918.
The Dover War Memorial did come up with a Mr Matcham at that time but not the one we are looking for this one had no war record,i will now aske my mates in the Buffs Veterans to try and find him, thank you for the one above again I will see if we can find ay records about the both of them and their familys.
