  "HE GIVETH HIS BELOVED SLEEP"

One cannot help wondering about the people long buried in these crumbling, neglected graves. When the same name appears oe wonders whether they were related. Today the internet is a great help with most historical records available at the touch of a button. So, after posting pics on my blog I usually check the net for any information. Yesterday (July 26, 2014) it was a beautiful feeling to first come across info on an auction of WWI medals of a Lt. Col HGN White. The nine medals expected to sell for anything between 500-600 pounds sold for 1,100 pounds. In 1914 one can presume that Henry George Norman White while in the Oudh and Rohilkhand Railways, volunteer when WWI broke out. One of the medals was for service in the Oudh and Rohilkhand Volr Rifles. Then I clicked on the Hampshire Genealogical Society website and found that it had researched Eva Mary Curtis and HG Norman White and the story appears under the headline: Portsmouth Couple married in India. The medals were auctioned in March 2012. I wonder whether the research was linked to the auction of the medals! It doesn't matter at least we know something about the Eva and Henry who were married so briefly!!
