  Dear Reg, you wold like to know the

  history of your Uncle Ted, well when he

  left school, which was earlier than what

  they do now, he went to work at Sulton's 

  Seed Firm, which he was doing very well,

  but one day he came home, & said to

  Mother & Dad, he would like to join

  the army, but they did not think to much

  of it, so they said well if that's what

  you want very well, so he passed & he

  said well I will join up in the best

  regiment which he did & they were always

  stationed in London, I think he must 

  only have been 18 yrs old as I was only

  9 yrs old, I am going by the age of him

  when he was killed in action, but any 

  how he rose up in all his ranks, such

  as lance corpal, to corpal, then to

  sergaint, so then they wanted him to go

  on to be a lieutenant but he did not want

  to go that far, so there was a "lieutenant

  Tudway" in his regiment & he asked Ted

  if he would like to be his vallet, & do

  for him which he did this Lieutenant

  had a flat in "Saville Row" in

  London so Ted was there with him,
