209127 Mjr. C. C. L. Barlow British Army 1st btn. Lincolnshire Regiment I am not related to Major Barlow, but my grandfather acted as his batman during the earlier campaigns in the Sudan. I have a reference the then Captain Barlow wrote for my grandfather George Thompson. Capt. Barlow gave my grandfather the cane walking stick used by his own father, I understand, during the Crimean campaign, which we still have this. My grandfather emigrated to Australia in 1911, and I often wondered whether Capt. Barlow had served in WW1. I have just found that he did, as there is a note re correspondence from his sister in 1921 requesting his medals, I feel he must have been killed in acion or died shortly after the war.
