Welcome to the Boards..

Are you telling us or are you asking for information? Your post is not clear.

If you are asking for information then we need more inforamtion about Francis. Where and when was he born and did he survive WW1? Was he a soldier or in the Navy?

Added: You have him on your tree here - so born in Darlington 1884. Someone called Judith also has him in her tree you could try contacting her. - Search/Search all members trees.

Added: More - according to freebmd he was Francis Thomas Lazenby, married in 1906 and probably died in 1956. (all on freebmd)

I can see no reference to the name under Military records on FMP for the correct time-frame, which is Feb 1915 to Jan 1916

Possible medal card on FMP………for a Gunner in Royal Garrison Artillery. Service number 113147

No other military records……….any that may have existed could have been destroyed during a bombing raid in WW2
