REVIEW - The Wood brothers of Stacksteads - Peter McQuade

East Lancashire branch were treated at their October meeting to a master-class in research from one of their own members, Peter McQuade. Explaining his research into a photograph of his five Wood great uncles and the clues which it held. It even led to a hitherto unknown date range of just one week. This was revealed eventually by a wedding ring!

Wound stripes, a division flash; Australian records – even two small and two large rosettes – led to five very different and evocative military and family revelations. So concisely was each step explained that there were very few questions unanswered by the appreciative audience at the close of the presentation.
