How did you do that - that is my photo! I'm sure I had that IMG code and no I did not colour my last bracket in red - LOL. I will try again and if I can't get the photo could you PLEASE do a thread for me with the followiwng message PLUS photo.
I would love someone to sort it for me. I may be a complete novice about this and I appreciate all your help. Another dumb question. How will I know which thread it's on in order to access any help?
Elaine I really do appreciate your patience and I have taken a note of the thread you have put my query on - Photo dating /medal identification - Family Tree Forum, but I can't find it!!
There is no hope for me as I have learned over the past 3 or 4 hours!
- and you will see your thread in that forum - at the moment it is the 3rd one in the listing.
It´s very useful to 'subscribe to threads' as you can then easily find any threads you have started or posted on.
You can do this via User Tools/User Control Panel in the blue navigation bar,
select EDIT OPTIONS on the left hand side of the screen
and then under the heading 'Default Thread subscription mode', select 'no email notification'
Once you have done this you can view any threads you have 'subscribed to' by clicking on the Forums tab in the blue navigation bar and selecting Subscribed threads.
Many many thanks Elaine just one more question, I would like to start a new thread with the photo and my original query about it which is:
This is an unidentified photo, so any help in dating it would be very much appreciated. Also is there someone with military knowledge that could throw some light on the medals please?
The most possible contender for the sitter is John Fletcher born 1796 who was a colour Sergeant in the 19th Regiment of Foot and was medically discharged to pension in 1836 after serving 21 years. He served for 7 years in the West Indies and also was in the Battle of Waterloo.
I only add this information in case it helps to identify any of the medals.
