@jbanningww1 @BristolCivicSoc Well done Jeremy, you have done him proud!

[Jeremy Banning @jbanningww1]

We’ve enjoyed a fabulous day remembering L/Cpl Fred Room VC at his former #Bristol home where a @BristolCivicSoc blue plaque was unveiled. Photos on this link plus a detailed look at this remarkable man’s life. Please do RT as it’s been a lot of work!

Off in a little bit to do justice to L/Cpl Fred Room VC, 2/Royal Irish Regiment as we unveil a @BristolCivicSoc blue plaque on his former house in St George, Bristol. It’s the 107th anniversary of when he received his VC from the King on Durdham Down.

[WW1 Research Ireland @MNugentResearch]

@Benjami79783607 Yes, I researched him for someone, possibly a relative?

@FlandersBTour Apart from being factually wrong, ‘there are none so blind as those who will not see’

[WW1 Research Ireland @MNugentResearch]
