Charles O'Reilly aka Henry Windsor Lowder

I have been trawling through some WWI war photos and found the two smaller ones which resemble my great uncle, Charles O'Reilly born in Co Louth Ireland. I am trying to confirm the identities of the Zeitoun, Egypt and Somme, France photos.

Vale Bev Gummer relative and e-friend

RIP

Beverly Gummer 

Butte Montana

I had some very sad news yesterday afternoon from Joy Gummer, the daughter of a distant cousin. Her mother, Beverly Gummer of Butte, Montana, USA passed away on 29 April. I 'met' Beverly on line via UK relatives.  Bev and I exchanged family histories, photos and many jokes over the last five years. I will miss her.

Sievert Gummer on the far right

Bev's husband Sievert and my father were of the same generation and related to Gyles Gummer born c. 1642. Amazingly, the resemblance between Sievert and my father, Jack was very strong.
