WFA Wolverhampton took a stand at the History Fair at Wolverhampton Archives on Saturday, 8 October 2011.
The lady on the left of the photograph is Betty Carter. On the display board (please see full pic below) I have put a couple of articles about Tommy Barrett VC, South Staffs Regt.
Betty`s father, Lt-Col William Carter recommended Tommy Barrett for the award. Lt-Col Carter was Tommy`s CO in the South Staffs.
Lt-Col Carter was awarded the DSO, and MC and Bar
Betty comes on our branch trips, and she had a photo taken by Tommy`s grave at Essex Farm Cemetery, (picture of which is on the display board as well).
I hope this will be of interest to you.
Best wishes
Mrs Mary Gough
Publicity Officer
The Wolverhampton Branch of The Western Front Association.
