mikebriggs Posted 13 March , 2009 Share Posted 13 March , 2009 Dear all This is a series question - honest In this series of 3 photos you will see men of the Sherwood Foresters (Notts and Derby) at their annual camp in Scarborough in 1911. I think that what you are witnessing is their tactical day (or few days) i.e. digging defensive works and defending them. In all three photos there is a man dressed in white. Could he be just 'Joe Bloggs' trying to get in on the photo or a military observer (similiar to that great scene in the dirty dozen ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRONNO Posted 13 March , 2009 Share Posted 13 March , 2009 Photographer's assistant? Here he is again trying to get on the photograph in other ways. This is actually the 6th N&D at Scarborough camp in 1911, honest. BRONNO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRONNO Posted 14 March , 2009 Share Posted 14 March , 2009 Guys, I like the way you're thinking Bronno; you're pulling my leg surely Mike, it is a genuine picture taken at Scarborough camp in 1911 but here he is trying to get a better view of the camp taken from the local church steeple.

centurion Posted 15 March , 2009 Share Posted 15 March , 2009 Is it the same man in all three photos? He has a different hat in the middle shot (and possibly a lighter moustache). If there is more than one then they could well be Umpires in a war game (and better looking than George Kennedy but then who isnt?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
