Sergeant Major Alfred Johnson 7QOH

Hello.

 

I thought introduce myself as a new member. I am keen Great War enthusiast and also manage a small research service assisting relatives identify the service history of their ancestors. In addition, I run a small military art group where we share and discuss a broad range work from the 18th Century through to present day. I also served with the Royal Artillery.

 

One of my ancestors was Sergeant Major Alfred Johnson, 7 Queens Own Hussars, who served throughout he Indian Mutiny and, unusually for an enlisted soldier, was honoured by the regiment with a gun carriage funeral. I have attached a photograph of Alfred, two articles from the press and two paragraphs from his Grandson's diary. 

 

I look forward to reading your interesting posts and hopefully being able to offer advice where I can.

Welcome! I know you know Bob and I think my Sis from VWF. Thanks for joining! 

 

To answer your question about editing . . . you may edit a post for 60 minutes after you hit the "Post" button. After that, you'd ask a Mod/Admin and we are more than happy to edit anything that you'd like added to or changed or fixed!
