By Vera Bromage
I am researching the Bromage/Bromwich/Bromidge etc. family history and came across Joseph Bromwich in the 24th Warwickshire Regiment on your site. Can anyone can give me info as to where Joseph came from and where he died? I am researching Hereford & Worcester but some of the line was in Warwickshire. Thanks, and the site is very interesting - even for a retired lady like me, I particularly like the discussion forum.
