Lt Harry Skipp, Bedfords

 

Oddly there are 2 "Harry Skipp"s commissioned in Bedfordshire Regt. One born 1887 and other born 8 Apr 1888. Neither MIC has an address, so I assume it is the 1887 chap from RIC record of dob

1891 census at Hope House, Ware

1911 census at West St, Ware

1916 Jul 8 Married in Ware to Florence Hilda Crowther. He is of 9th Scottish Batn, and "Cadet". He must have failed to get a commision at this point, as his commission dates from Sept 1917
