| 1 | Allied Military Currency - WW2 Allied Military Currency was issued for use in France, Germany, Italy and Japan and for a short time in Korea, Denmark and Austria. The currency was issued to combat the effects of black market activity and the associated need to stabilise the local economy. They were issued to military personnel generally for use on base only. When, for example, the Germans left Greece, they first flooded the country with counterfeit currency to de-stabilise the economy. AMC was issued to the allies until the local currency stabilised.

| 6 | BASSETT, Ellen (b.1876) This photo of unknown origin or age but as a guess, I would say it was taken between 1920 and 1930. If anyone knows differently, please let me know and I will give full credit to the original owner. | ||

| 11 | BASSETT, Gertrude This photograph was taken on the day of Gertrude's marriage to George Henry Scholfield in Providence, Rhode Island, USA. | ||
| 12 | BASSETT, Gertrude with Alida Bassett (nee Lindstrom) and Lucy Bassett. The original of this photograph has badly deteriorated and so this photograph has been "digitally contructed" from the heads and shoulders of the originals. The original photo is dated 1931. NB: The exact identity of the younger woman in this photograph has been brought into doubt. It is now believed that she was Gertrude Garron and that she was "fostered" by Frank and Alida Bassett. If this is true, then it would explain why, in the 1920 census, she was recorded as Gertrude Bassett. See Most Wanted. | ||

| 16 | Cashes Green Isolation Hospital, Nr Cainscross, Gloucestershire This hospital was completed in 1904 at a cost of £12,000. It was built as an isolation hospital for infectious diseases, including Tuberculosis, Diptheria and Scarlet Fever. By the 1940's, the need for an isolation hospital had declined and in 1948, it became a geriatric hospital. In 1978 the hospital became a day unit, finally closing, despite strong local protest, in 1993. As at October 2008, the building stands awaiting it's fate with local people suggesting that it should become a private house. | ||
| 17 | Cathedral of St John's, Providence, Rhode Island, USA This is the church where Gertrude Bassett and George Henry Schofield were married on 6 JAN 1916. | ||

| 19 | Chavenage House, Nr Tetbury, Gloucestershire. This photograph, taken in 1960, is of Chavenage House, just outside Tetbury. It is where Ada Annie Cleaver worked as a Domestic Servant at the time of the 1911 census. Ada was 15 years old at the time. | ||
| 20 | CHEF, Salem c.1895-c.1966 The larger photograph to the left is of Salem Chef, date unknown. Top right in colour, is Salem's first wife Elizabeth Maud Law. Elizabeth died in the first quarter of 1925 when she was only 24. Her son Salem (jnr) was born in February 1925, so perhaps these events were connected. The photograph at bottom right, is of Salem and his second wife, Lily Williams (nee Jones). I have been advised by another family member that this photo was probably taken in the 1960's. | ||

| 26 | CLEAVER, Emily Ann 1872-1952 Taken in Canada, this photograph is of Emily Ann Snell (nee Cleaver). My guess would be that this photograph was taken around 1925. If you know better, please get in touch! | ||
| 27 | CLEAVER, Ernest 1918-1954, with son David This photograph of Ernest and David was taken in 1948. | ||

| 36 | CLEAVER, Ralph Ralph Cleaver, son of Alfred George and Matilda Annie (nee Bassett), was born 11 Dec 1927 in Whiteshill, Gloucestershire, England. He died in 1993. | ||
| 37 | CLEAVER, Robert Job (AKA, Job) 1884-1930 The picture indicates that Robert (often going by his middle name, "Job") was a Sergeant in the RFA. it is unclear whether this refers to the "Royal Fleet Auxillary" or the "Royal Field Artillery" as both were referred to as the "RFA". However, there is a WW1 medal index card for a "Job Cleaver", RFA. If this is our Robert, it suggests that Robert signed up in 1914 and was discharged in 1917 as "medically unfit for service". | ||
| 38 | CLEAVER, Robert Victor with daughter Maureen This photograph was taken during the 2nd World War years when Robert was providing accomodation to staff of the War Ministry based at Westonbirt. | ||

| 40 | CLEAVER, William Alfred (Private) This is a photograph of the inscription on Tyne Cot Memorial in Tyne Cot Cemetery, nr Ypres, Belgium. It remembers William who died in the Ypres Salient during WW1 and has no known grave. | ||
| 41 | COX brothers, James and Edwin This photograph of the Cox brothers, James (left and top) and Edwin, was probably taken between 1916 and 1918 as Edwin had already reached the rank of Sargeant in the Canadian Over-seas Expeditionary Force. As can be seen, James was a sailor and at the time this photograph was taken, he was serving aboard HMS Challenger | ||
| 42 | COX [MONGER], Sarah Married in Avening, Gloucestershire, Sarah and husband William Monger arrived in Melbourne, Australia in 1839. William became a successful and prolific builder. | ||
| 43 | COX's army prepare for the long journey to the front lines of Europe. This photograph was taken around 1915, probably not long after Edwin Cox had signed up for military service. It shows the troops on board the train which is to take them east to Thunder Bay for the voyage to Europe. Clearly in high spirits, little did they know that many of them would never return. The various slogans depict such messages as "Kaiser Bill We Are Coming"; "Kenora Roughnecks"; "Kenora Die Hards" and of course, "Cox's Army". If anyone recognises a face, please let me know. | ||
| 44 | COX, Annie (1846-1926) | ||
| 45 | COX, Edwin This photograph was taken around 1915 shortly after Edwin had signed up for his military service. | ||
| 46 | COX, Florence Ada c.1900 This photograph of Florence, was probably taken around 1900. It appears that Florence has just graduated. As she was a music teacher, perhaps she had graduated from Teacher Training College? The photo was taken at the studios of J. Blackmore, of 52 Battersea Road, Easton, Bristol. | ||
| 47 | COX, James Arthur; Fred jnr; Fred snr and Alice This picture was taken in 1923, probably at the home of Alice in Bristol. (left to Right) is James Arthur; James Arthur's nephew and son of Frederick Henry, Frederick jnr; Frederick Henry (far right) with Alice at the front. | ||
| 48 | COX, James Henry and his wife SMITH, Emma Jane On the left is a photograph of James Henry Cox. At a guess, I would say he looks about 40 and so this would place the photograph around 1895. On the right is James' wife Emma Jane Cox (nee Smith). She looks slighlty older to me and so it is probable that these two photographs were not taken at the same time. | ||
