I have researched all but two of the forty on it. If it’s another company I would really interested to see it. Hello Stephen, No, as stated in the post, it’s a group photo featuring all the officers and almost certainly one of a number of battalion photo groupings taken on the eve of their departure for France. All the 29 officers are named to the mount including the RMO (Lt Bishop RAMC). If you PM me with your e-mail address I’ll send you the image.

This was produced by the photographic studio of F Scovell and was taken at Ramillies Barracks, Aldershot in 1915 (probably on the same day as the Company image posted in this thread earlier). If anyone would like a copy then PM me and I’ll oblige. Mike Would love a copy or a gander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Barker Posted 11 April Share Posted 11 April On 11/10/2008 at 02:21, Jacksg said: I've read that the 10th battalion was regarded as having a "bad disciplinary record". Can anyone supply more detail on that? Many thanks! Jacksg I have found this thread due to my interest in finding out more about Ernest Hamilton, Private 15273 of the 10th Battn. He enlisted at Sale, Cheshire on the 9th September 1914. I have had a look at his service record and one thing that stood out was his very long poor disciplinary record. Corroborates Jacksg message. On the 20th May his record shows he was wounded (G.S.W) 30 CCS (not sure what that is?) He was killed in action on the 10th October 1916. Does anyone know where the 10th were on that date. He is Commemorated at THIEPVAL MEMORIAL, France. Pier and Face 3 C and 4 A. His name is also on the Sale War Memorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheshires he is also on my website Cheshire Roll of Honour, I will look in his file tomorrow and see what I have on him.

Perhaps (not as exciting as perceived) and looked after the horses, but more interesting to know a relative has the medal/s. Edwin I have a photograph of approximately 195 men in the 10th Cheshire, but have been struggling for two days to get it into the gallery, but hopefully I manged to get it into topic. Thanks once again Alison Hi Alimo61, I am writing a book about the 10th Cheshire’s due to be published late spring next year. I have the officers and NCOs of D company taken the same time as this picture. I would like to use this in the book, could I possibly get a better copy? Of course it will be credited.

The problem is that the divisional history (Kincaid-Smith) tends to give snapshots of various actions, and records casualties, honours etc. It is good for what it does, but has lots of gaps. When researching my book on Johnston (see above post) I had great difficulty with the 10th Cheshire. There appears to be few if any photographs of them, and I found the Regimental Museum unhelpful (hence they didn't get a free copy of the book as is my practice). Much of the stuff in Crookenden on the 10th came from Johnston's diary. If you find out anything on them I'd be delighted to hear from you. Edwin Hi Edwin, I am writing a book about the 10th Cheshire, your book re Johnston’s diary is cited and referenced. I have extensively researched the 10th Cheshire’s including creating a list of original draft that went over in September 1915. I have 100s of pictures, I have walked the ground they fought on, and have also cross referenced their actions with those in the German archives. Their discipline is one area that I have taken on, and have analysed and I have drawn some conclusions. The draft for the book is due to be at the publisher’s in spring.
