| The late Sergeant Major George Thornley of the Royal Artillery. This image when closely examined is shown to be a photographic copy of another earlier cabinet photograph. One can see a portion of the original photographer's name at the very lower right edge of the image. This image was found in association with a morning card (see below) for Sergeant Major Thornely and gives his death date as 15 May, 1901 at Sunderland. At the time of his death he seems to have been retired boarder and "living on own means" on Henry Street in Sunderland. No other family was listed in the 1901 Census. The sergeant wears an unidentified medal in the photograph. Cabinet Photograph J. H. Pratt - Photographer/Copiest Market Street, Ashton-U-Lyne, England c. 1901 |
