Welcome to the Noah's ARC Archive.
I am very fortunate in being the webmaster of this site in that I often receive surprises in
my mailbox. Many of these Emails are copied to me on their way to Patrick
O'Dwyer, our researcher, and often they include old photographs. I have decided that I
should share these with you and so I present them here. They are usually accompanied by descriptions
and these will also be included.
In order to maintain clarity some of these images are necessarily large - please
be patient and allow them to download - they are worth it!

Elaine Smith's grandfather - Frederick Winchester, was born 6th June 1896 (died 1st June 1965) and went in
to the 20th Hussars in the band playing the clarinet at the age of 14. Elaine has provided photos of the band
from 1912, 1916 and 1919. He was also in Turkey with the regiment in 1920. For all of you that have collected
a Cap Badge of the 20th Hussars, you can see it here in all its glory in the final photo of Frederick.
If you have any information about Frederick Winchester, please get in touch.
