He served during WW1, arriving in France on the 16th August 1914. He later re-enlisted with the Dragoons in February 1919 and was given the number 31436. The above information taken from his medal index card. A service record for this man may still survive with the MoD in England.<br /><br />PaulPaul Nixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12354531380984476532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1944079581687608453.post-86858269778934265262011-08-31T22:32:27.315+01:002011-08-31T22:32:27.315+01:00Greetings from the colonies.

Hyde on his leaving the 3/6 Dragoon Guards after 18 years service. The presentation was made by the sgts. mess assn in 1928. I thuoght it interesting the clock migrated all the way to Texas and is still intact. I'm in the process of cleaning and restoring the clock because if must have a fascinating history.<br /> farrelfelts@yahoo.com <br /> Gainesville Texas is 55 miles north of Dallas on the Texas-Oklahoma borderfarrel felts@yahoo.comnoreply@blogger.com
