his deed he done was not till 1915.

We also had a lovely letter of sympathy

from Lieutenant Tudway's mother & father, 

but a strange thing Reg Ted & Tudway

met again when Ted was called up, they

both went over to France together & Tudway

was killed in action the Nov. 1914 & so

sad he was there only boy, so we sent

a sympathy letter to them, Ted was 28 yrs

old & Tudway 27 yrs, just a year younger

than Ted. Yes Reg that block was also given

to Mother & Dad as well from a Captain Walker

you spoke about Ted doing duty at Windsor

Castle, that is true, he also trained at the Prince

of Wales, which would have been King 

Edward the eight if he had not advocated. abdicated

To shoot, Ted was his shooting instructor

as he was in Ted's regiment. Yes Reg I

remember that brass plaque very clearly & I

have never forgotten his number which was

11635 which is quite correct on the plaque

also he told us that when he was called to

go to war that he was just going in as a 

private like he was when he first join the

army, also I remember him saying to Mum & Dad

he said we are going empty handed we are not
