Dear Listers, This is a complete longshot - but I am hoping someone out there might be able to help? I have come across an old Army regimental photo in some family 'junk' but cannot see any obvious link to my family. To try to unearth a link but also out of interest I am trying to trace some of the soldiers named on the photo. The photo was taken of the '18 Medium Regiment of the Royal Artillery' in 1953. Possibly at the barrack HQ in Larkhill, Wiltshire, UK. In it there is a J. A. CORNWELL. My research tells me that CORNWEL is most common in Cambs, possibly from the Newmarket area?. Does anyone know anything about this man or can help me trace his descendents? Many thanks Mark

Hi Mark, Have you tried the Suffolk list and any regimental websites? You could try posting on the following and see if they can help you.... http://www.artilleryclub.com/ra_comrades.html Hope it helps, Regards, Sally > From: markkirby1@sky.com > To: ENG-CAMBRIDGESHIRE@rootsweb.com > Date: Sun, 11 Oct 2009 14:54:07 -0700 > Subject: [ENG-CAMS] CORNWELL surname - Newmarket area? > > Dear Listers, > This is a complete longshot - but I am hoping someone out there might be > able to help? > > I have come across an old Army regimental photo in some family 'junk' but > cannot see any obvious link to my family.

Hi Mark Just a thought but instead of posting one or two names on multiple lists, why not list them all in one go Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Dear Listers, > This is a complete longshot - but I am hoping someone out there might be > able to help? > > I have come across an old Army regimental photo in some family 'junk' but > cannot see any obvious link to my family.
