I have just finished researching Alec Carlile and his story can be read at https://oldwhittingtonops.com/carlile-alexander/

Another ordinary man called on to do his duty, which he did with the utmost bravery, like so many others.

If any descendants of Alec or his cousins Percy and John who I will be researching next have any information, family stories or photos they would like to add then please get in touch.

Ernest Whitbread proved a bit of a challenge as none of his information seemed to cross reference, however with help from Gloria Evison in the form of a newspaper article and family information the story finally came to life.

Ernest’s story can be read here

I have just finished researching Christopher Loomes and his story can be read here https://oldwhittingtonops.com/loomes-christopher-dcm/

Two new photos of the men from Old Whittington have been added

 

Christopher Loomes  and Charles Leggitt were half – brothers and quite fitting they should appear side by side.

THURMAN BROTHERS

I have been contacted by a family member who has kindly sent me photos of Joseph and William Thurman.
