Detail from thePeerage.com, page 31665: William Hamo Vernon, b. 16 Jul 1895; the fourth of 7 children, (3 brothers and 3 sisters), to William Allen Vernon and Elizabeth Vernon (Marson). Brothers Herbert (Sedbergh) [Lt], Reginald (Bradfield) [Capt], and Wilfred (Sedbergh and Trinity Cambridge) [Lt], all served in the RFC / RAF, all survived the War and all lived into their 80s. Lt Vernon’s Medal Card is on the National Archive database, WO 372/20, but does not enhance the detail already provided. 4th Battalion The Royal Fusiliers (City of London Regiment) was a Transport Battalion serving on the Somme in October 1916 when Lt Vernon was reported missing.//

Wow.... it brings a sense of humility and a breath of life to it to see the sleeping cat against the wall behind him. It really brings things into perspective. In times of war, some things remain the same.
