Hello everyone - Have you ever heard of soldiers being given freeman of the city and a home that could be passed thru the next generation - but only to sons. And- Peter - could I scan a photo to you? )Please) It is of my uncle in what appears to be summer issue but I can't tell his rank or what branch of the service. I would appreciate any help. My grandfather served in the Northumberland Imperial Yeomanry during the Boer War where his was taken prisoner. I have a photo of something I would like to give to a Museum...............does NIY have a museum in Northumberland? Best regards - Judy
