G.D.F, officers commissioned

G.D.F, officers commissioned
Twenty - four Junior Officers of the Guyana Defence Force, including two females, were yesterday state commissioned by Brigadier Clarence Price on behalf of the President6 of the country, Arthur Chung.
At a very simple ceremony held in the Officers' Club of Camp Ayanganna, Thomas Lands. The Officers repeated the oath after the Brigadier before they were presented with a State Commissioned Certificate bearing the official seal.
This is the second such ceremony, within three months. During November 1972, 13 senior officers of the GDF were State Commissioned by President Arthur Chung at Guyana House when the People's Army was celebrating its seventh anniversary.
Interior
A Source from the army also intimated that within another three months a similar exercise will take when officers, who are now stationed in the interior, are brought to the city.
After the ceremony yesterday, which was witnessed by Major Ulric Pilgrim and other senior officers, the recipients were told that they are now "fully committed" by Brigadier Price, and were also entertained in the Officers' Club.
The two female officers who were among the recipients are Lieutenants Brenda Bernadette Aaron, and Carolyn Audrey Agnes Seaforth.
The other recipients are Major Claude Vibert Bowen; Captains Kennard Ramphall, Allan John Lewis, Cecil James Hinds  and Aubrey Emanuel Featherstone.
Lieutenants Winston Lennox Moore, Franklin Stanislaus Gibbs, Clarence Augustus Eversley, Compton Hartley Liverpool, Dyal Panday, Oscar McDonald, Ian Clarence Fraser, Victor Orlando Wilson, Gladwyn Ferdinand McPherson, Huburn Humphrey and Keith Ross.
Second Lieutenants Compton Maurice Moore (this is an incorrect surname. it is Ross. This is a recurring scenario, his name is always incorrect within articles in which my brother is mentioned. I resent that fact...) Wayne Julian Scott MacKenzie, Clement Algernon Clarke, Cecil Sheridan Austin, John Michael Da Silva and Richard Keith Barry...
Never knew my cousin other name is Richard...I will check with his brother and sister to ensure that is the fact of the matter....

Luke-Sancho

It is a given not every person surnamed Luke and/or members of the kinship of Luke are descendants of Sancho. The aim of this exercise is to identify the members of the kinship of Sancho. This effort is focused primarily on the immediate relatives of Mrs. Adelaide Sancho-Luke. However, it would be totally illogical not to recognize the possibility that there are likely other links among the people of Luke and Sancho, other than that of David Luke and Adelaide Sancho. This is part of the up-hill task of accounting for all of the members of the kinship of Sancho, as accurately as humanly possible. Your input will be greatly appreciated. You are hereby asked to share your knowledge of our people, and/or to point us to sources of information; whereby persons connected to the primary ancestor will be identified. Thanks for your time, tolerance and cooperation. Whenever you have pertinent information will please share with researchers? Email: nabaclisman@gmail.com PRIMARY SURNAME: LUKE - The

 Contact :- childrenofsancho@gmail.com Perhaps, the future generations of Sancho researchers will move this process forward in a radical environment resembling that of the ancestors of Sancho prior to the beginnings of the seventeenth century AD.   It’s likely the future generations of Sancho researchers will be able to access information which is not currently available. This Sancho hopes the future generations of Sancho researchers will vindicate his efforts. This Sancho hopes the future generations of Sancho researchers will pay homage to the integrity, Sancho ancestral heritage. He also hopes his fortitude, integrity; sincerity and the love for his Sancho biology will be appreciated and lauded by the future generations of Sancho researchers, and Sancho people, generally, most especially the DNA Sancho. Perhaps, more than enough time efforts has been exhausted exposing the distraction the reprehensible opinions of Kenneth Joyce Robertson and his fictitious account- purporting

William Sancho, at Buxton, 1880s - 1890s?

By
 Are you aware of William Sancho, ca. 1880s - 1890s?  He was convicted of numerous  petty criminal activities, Old William Sancho certainly had it rough. obviously, this Sancho sympathize with his sufferings. However, because of the colonial records this Sancho became aware of the human experience. And for that truth and reality this Sancho is extremely grateful, Bit alas, their is no genealogical information available in print. If  Old William was birthed before 1869; perhaps the names of his immediate relates are available in the district.
