If Admiral Lyon died in the Great War then his date of death is incorrect , the war finished in 1918 , his date of death is listed as March 1919 on your post Littlehand ? . unless of course Lyon did die in 1919 and it's his two sons who were killed in the war , a misleading title at the start of the post may be to blame ? .

Wow!

Having found Lieut Col Henry Spalding (my second great grand uncle) on this forum (and I am still hoping AndyR will appear out of the ether with his medals)
https://www.1879zuluwar.com/t8190-brevet-major-henry-spalding-of-rorke-s-drift-and-information-for-columns#97514

I now find Admiral Herbert Lyon (also a second great grand uncle) is also on this forum. Is that a coincidence? The families only came together with my paternal grandparents
