Gilbert Alexander HARRIMAN [1900-1981]
The name of Gilbert Harriman is remembered in my family as the trainer of my grandfather, Charles Warren’s racing ponies, known as the “Tile” ponies, during the years 1920-1923. When one of the Tile ponies won the Professional Cup at the Happy Valley Derby, a photographer was hired to commemorate the occasion, snapping Charles Warren and his daughter Evelyn together with Harriman and the magnificent trophy for posterity. The cup has sadly disappeared. After Charles Warren’s death in 1923 the Tile ponies were all sold and Harriman’s connection with our family ceased.
Thomas Henry STEED [1918-1942]

We would like to fill in the gap between capture and his death eg - which camp was he held in, are there any documentary references to Thomas, mention in memoires etc
