The King's Regiment.
I am looking for information on J.M.South who served with the 1st Btn from before 1924 (Lance Sgt) until 1932 in Jubbulpore, when he was C.S.M. D Coy. He was a regimental sportsman, playing hockey in 1924-5.This picture was taken in approx 1926 with C.Coy winners of the inter-company football shield.Regards.Phil.

Phil,
I have looked through the copies of the Kingsman magazine that I have for the 1920`s and 1930`s in the hope that there might have been a mention or another photgraph but no luck. There is a chance there might be an orbituary in a much later edition of the magazine. Do you have any more information at all ? P.B.

KLR Depot - Seaforth Barracks
No help in tracing your man but if this is the Depot King's Liverpool Regiment at Seaforth here is picture of the main gate. I was brought up in a house about 500 metres from Seaforth Barracks long since demolished.

GGA the building in the background of your picture certainly matches the one in Phils photo.

On detailed viewing of the other Kings Rgt photographs i have recently obtained i find two images of VC holders which i thought i would share. The first is of Lieutenant E.K.Myles. V.C. D.S.O. who is standing rear first left.There is a good write up on Myles at. www.worcestershireregiment.com. He transferred to the King's in 1923 and later became a Captain. The second photograph shows Major D.M.W. Beak, V.C. D.S.O. M.C. with D Coy 1st King's Jubbulpore in 1932, the year he transferred to the King's as Major, sitting next to C.S.M. J.M. South. His medals are in Lord Ashcroft's collection and a google will give the story. Also there is a good write up on Iain Stewart's excellent V.C. site. Regards Phil.
