WW1 men born or connected with the Poole/Bournemouth, Dorset Area

Hello. I'm researching servicemen who were either born or who had connections with the Poole/Bournemouth area. I'd love to hear from any descendants. Thanks

Annie - My apologies - I have just seen your other reply here.

 

Thank you again Annie. I should say that I have also been through the Soldiers Died in Great War CD ROM which is searchable by keyword.

Morten

 

Annie - Thank you again. I don't know why I wasn't notified by email of your replies? Regards Morten

 

This is kind of out in left field Morten ..... but I came across this .... ! ( though you probably already know about it !! )

Every 31st of October the ghost of a soldier is seen getting a drink of water at the Town Hall in Bournemouth but then I found this .......

 

And last but not least ... do you have the book ? ........

"Bournemouth and the First World War” by M A Edgington Bournemouth Local Studies Publications 1985

... it might give you some tips !!

Thanks Annie. Yes, I've tried to find out about local hospitals and Mount Dore was the biggest in my area. Pity nobody thought to get the ghost's serial number though? Regards Morten

 

Thanks Annie . I had stumbled across the clifton site but didn't know about the winton forum.

 

What can I say but thanks again Annie. Regards. Morten

 

Yes, Bournemouth Library have a copy and very good it is too. Thanks again. Regards Morten

 

Thanks Annie. Capstone Road is very interesting as two VC Winners lived there. You probably know, F C Riggs was the other winner. I often walk down Capstone Road to look at the blue plaques, erected by Bmth Borough Council. Morten

 

This young flyer isn't WW1 Morten - but I thought maybe you might be interested !
