S/Sgt. Eric Shelbourne Ransom
British Army
from:South Africa
Eric Ransom was my father's brother. They were born early 1900s in London surrounds. Both volunteered from South Africa where their mother had taken them. Their father was involved in an affair and ended up in a suicide pact in 1916 in the Curzon Hotel in Brighton.
My father seems to have served as a flight training officer in South Africa.
I have never been able to find any details of any foreign service for him.
