Hope so! RQMS John Thomas Preston, as he became in WW1 with the 1st/4th Battalion, must have been a Volunteer and was with the 4th King's Own on formation. Born Leeds, circa 1878. Lived Market Place, Dalton in Furness, employed as painter. Renumbered 200015 in 1917, so 15th senior (by length of service) at that time in the battalion. Discharged sick in August 1917.

King's Own Royal Regiment Museum, Lancaster So busy yesterday, no update! Remembrance Day was spent with Sandylands School in Morecambe. The curator spoke to 400 children about WW1, visiting each class for at least 20 minutes. Fantastic way to spend Remembrance Day.

Many thanks again Peter. Feedback was extremley positive and I know the children really took in the important message of Remembrance as well as having fun having a First World War soldier in their classrooms!

The museum has a copy of the Lancaster booklet. When I get a chance I shall digitally copy it and add it to facebook. If you wish to email the museum (kingsownmuseum@iname.com) I'm happy to look through our records if you let me have the names (and numbers from the medals). Peter Donnelly, Curator.

King's Own Royal Regiment Museum, Lancaster The souvenir card for the 1st/5th Battalion got me to thinking about other similar things in the museum collection. The Borough of Lancaster, like many other districts around the country, produced it's own card for the fallen.
