IPT Posted 6 September , 2011 Share Posted 6 September , 2011 Pure guess but have they scrubbed out the 3 when the 3/4th became the 4th (reserve) battalion in April 1916? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay dubaya Posted 7 September , 2011 Share Posted 7 September , 2011 Pure guess... and probably not far off the mark, if so then this photo was taken at Clipstone between April and September 1916. There's lots of cap badges and shoulder titles visible and the fella seated middle appears to be wearing a 'LG'? badge or similar, could be the battalion MG section. Any chance of a closer look at the photo Spall cheers, Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I know of this is York and Lancs Regiment - cap badges - and the fella in the middle, I think he is my great grandad or uncle, not sure, would love to know names of these people.

spall Posted 11 September , 2011 Author Share Posted 11 September , 2011 Well i think, the guy in the middle is my great grandfather - Thomas Butler - as i know he was in 3/4 y&l so this photo is probably when they transferred. Interesting clipstone ? Why clipstone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
