Lance Corporal Harry van Tromp

  • Gary Donaldson said:
    Henry van Trump appears to have been re-enlisted as 'van Tromp'. He was the only son of Henry Joseph van Trump and Elizabeth (nee Stone) of Taunton, Somerset. He had older siblings, a brother Bert, and 3 sisters, Elsie, Elizabeth and Alice. His father, Henry Joseph, a shirt and collar manufacturer of St Augustine Street, was Mayor of Taunton from 1916 to 1920. 22nd (Service) Battalion (Kensington) was formed on 11th September 1914 and went to France in November 1915.//
  • AndyBailey said:
    Presumably, from his medal ribbons, he had seen action before.
  • Gary Donaldson said:
    Overseas campaign active service at the very least. He appears to be wearing 2 or 3 ribbons, the one with the white centre may be that for the Central Africa Medal 1891-98. His service probably being at the latter end of that campaign. He would appear to have been an experienced ex-Regular soldier.//

    nice old picture
  • Trench-Foote said:
    Lance Corporal Henry van Tromp had a very low Regimental Service Number in 22nd Battalion - K/256 (National Archive Medal Index Card) - indicating that he re-enlisted soon after the outbreak of war in 1914 - probably as 22nd Battalion was formed.

  • Denise Jackson said:
    At the time of the 1911 census he was a pupil at Kingswood School, aged 17. His place of birth was given as Pietermaritzburg, Natal.

    His Medal Roll Index Card shows that he was Private 1562 in the Royal Highlanders before transferring to the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry.
