The texture of everyday life gone by

William Edward Bone (1895)

British Army Victoria Rifles and King’s Royal Rifle Corps volunteers. Antique print from Her Majesty’s Army by Walter Richards (Source: Frontispiece).

William Edward Bone (1876-1964). On the 7th December 1895 William applied to the First Middlesex (Victoria and St. George’s) Rifle Volunteers (more here) and signed a Memorandum of Agreement.

I obtained this fragile document and a small collection of his photographs.

From what I can gather (this might be the wrong person), William probably spent most of his life in the Croydon and Lewisham area presumably working as a railway clerk in 1939. If my research is correct he married his wife (Daisy Catherine Smith 1880-1971) in 1915, they had a daughter, Dorothy, born in 1917.
