In 1911, my great grandfather, William Thomas Daniels was at The Castle, Woolwich, who had served with the Royal Fusiliers on the NW Frontier in India, and was Landlord there. *
He was previously Landlord at the Prince of Wales Pub at 155 Upper North Street, Poplar, by 1913, he was licensee of the Golden Lion, Bexley Heath; and ultimately was Landlord of the Jenny Lind Pub in Carshalton Road, Sutton, Surrey (which I believe is now called "The Nightingale").
