Thank you – you have just solved a family mystery of a photograph my dad has. He always thought it was either his grandad, John Edward Lusby Dash (killed in 1916), or a relative of his. It turns out there were 7 Dash brothers that fought and the photo he has is of one of his grandad’s brothers – Charles Dash!
My dad has his grandfather’s war medals, certificates, thank you from the king & war penny but it has been lovely to see the faces of his brothers who also fought.
my grandad showed me some of his war stuff and i thought about learning a bit more and this has given some good infomation
