NigelS Posted 10 May , 2014 Share Posted 10 May , 2014 Here's a 'then & now' from a local news site that's slightly different as it shows a reconstruction by modern day soldiers (in modern kit) of a photo taken of injured men recovering at Clandon Park in Surrey Click NigelS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0rris Posted 2 June , 2014 Share Posted 2 June , 2014 This was always a favourite of mine when looking at my grandpa's photos with him in the 60s. This year when looking at the backs of some other cards I spotted "Hadleigh, Essex" in the postmark. I then put the picture on a local history site down there and soon enough it was identified. Apparently it was taken from upstairs in a recently knocked down pub. Note war memorial to the middle right of the photo. Pictures show marching men of the 2/6th RWF prior to his trip to Suvla.

The CWGC cemetery is on the far side of this church. The officers and sisters are from the 3rd Australian General Hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
