I have been looking at the service papers for William Gorse for a while now but I cannot read these distinctive marks comments.



The best I can make out is:

'Cicatur proud/pronounced on left temple
in right
left hips'

'Cicatur' is more clear but I cannot find any meaning for this word.

Many thanks Peter.

It is much easy to read when someone explains what it says!

I looked at the word 'another' for a long time time this afternoon and could not read it at all.

I was reading an article the other day about lessons that anyone over the age of 40 learned in school that were now obsolete and are overall no longer taught..... One of them was Cursive Writing...… A couple of others that I remember are the memorizing of the Mathematics Times Tables and how to break down a sentence Verb Noun etc and Meter in Poetry...… Oh yes and spelling...…

What is Education coming to...…..
