I was away from our memorabilia and confused before, the Pte Quinton who served with Worc Reg I am really looking for information about is the following (William Quinton who I asked about before was most likely not related to my family):
Herbert Alfred Quinton, Service Number 51302
I would love to know what battalion he served with.
I am also looking for a Henry "Son" Quinton, but I am not sure what his service number was. I have a picture which I will upload if opportunity allows. It is of him and "friend", obviously a sergeant of some level or other (I am no expert at decoding uniform insignias, and the photo is old and small), the Sergeant's cuff says "SP". They are both wearing what looks a bit like a kilt (but has no back part so is in that sense like a "waist apron") bearing some embroideries I can't make out but that look like an "M" with tassles on the two legs. They are also wearing some kind of large necklaces (they look like some kind of cross between a boxing champion's belt and rap star "bling", essentially), with large medallions that are impossible to make out, but vaguely resemble the shako plates on this site.
Both "Son" and Herbert, brothers, survived the war but died from their war injuries in 1925 (or at least this is what I am told, and henry's date of death is not certain).
If anyone can make anything of this, please let me know. I would very much like to know which parts of the world he saw in service and which battles he took part in.
Again, I am sorry about the other post. William is a family name but I can't find a William who went to the Great War in my family records. In fact the set of brothers I am investigating didn't even have a William among them (but a brother in-law, and that's where I got confused, along with Gallipoli being the right general area).
I am also curious about whether or not this is a service number (and if so, what was the soldier?): 49579
Thanks for reading,
