The World war One service records of Gilbert Arthur Webster suggest that this may heva been their home address in 1919.
Service records are from November 1914 to demobilisation on 16th February 1919.
Both his address and also that of his father, Oliver Jonathan Webster, are listed as Fisheries Hotel, Harefield, Uxbridge.
Furlough while on leave in March 1918 is definitely at the Fisheries Hotel.
