Hello, I'm trying to find information on Sydney Medd b 12/12/1884 d 1944 in Newcastle/Durham/North East!!
I know he was a gunner in the Royal Garrison Artillery, then joined the Military Mounted Police and after the war joined the Civillian Mounted Police. I have been led to believe he had a brother too, although I know nothing about him! He married Jenny Fletcher b1892 d1946
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
