Linda, was your Grandad in the Wigan Salvation Army Band?
DotM.
This is my great grandfather James Cecil Seal, Linda is my aunty as she is my mum's cousin. Yes, both great granddad and his future wife Alice Aspey were in the Sally Army. Maybe the title is wrong cos she was supposed to use it to show Alice in her uniform. I really would love to find a photo of their wedding day or in a Salvation Army group photo. Can anyone date this iamge? My guess is it is around 1915.
