Please could you tell me how we can correct the information regarding my grandfather recorded on this site? he was Reginald Laverty in tank D 'Dolly'? Gnr Reginald Laverty was born Oct to Dec ‘93, at Winchester, Hants; the fifth child (and youngest son) of a wood carver James T Laverty and his wife Margret. In 1901 the family (with a younger sister) was living in Bar End Rd, Winchester. Family tradition is that Reginald was a carpenter. Reginald suffered shock as a result of the action on 15 Sep but appears to have survived the war. Later allocated new tank Corps Number 200806.Remained a Pte soldier and survived the war. Married Gladys Norgate (B 1900 Oswelbury near Winchester); three children Victor b 1935, John b 1942 and Irene b1944 (family info supplied by grand-daughter Ingrid Norgate) In fact he was born 19th August 1893, the 10th child and 7th son of ames Thomas Laverty. He was a wood carver at the family firm of JT Laverty and also taught at the Winchester School of Art. He was married to Susan Beatrice Laverty and had 3 children; Peter (b. 1926), Janet (my mother) (b.1933) and Margaret (b. 1934). I have very few memories of him as he died when I was only 3 or 4 years old. His full name was Reginald Ninian Laverty. | |
