207886 Sgm. Alfred John Seymour British Army Royal Engineers (Signals) from:Lambeth, London My grandfather Alfred Seymour was an "old Contemptible" and was in the Signals. I have a copy of his war records but sadly not his medals. He worked his way up to Sgt Major but had a stripe taken away for a period of time for smoking in the barracks in bed. He married in 1917 but was widowed in 1919 whilst he was stationed on the Rhine. He met and married his second wife (my grandmother) in 1921 and they married in the Garrison Church in Cologne in 1922. I have photos of the wedding and I have donated lots of photos of the WW1 battlefields and his battalion photos to the Royal Signals Museum. He went on to be stationed in Hong Kong and left the Signals when stationed back at Bulford Camp (36 Sling Cottages)
