At Home Dad Posted 19 September , 2009 Share Posted 19 September , 2009 Hallo all Could a helpful Pal tell me the significance of the chap (front and centre) wearing the white kit and what trade he most likely was? The photo is of members of No10 Platoon, C Coy, 13th Essex Hammers while undergoing training on Wanstead Flats, April 1915 - kindly sent to me by the Grandson of Pte Greeno (Batman & Runner) who is furthest left on the image. Many thanks for the assistance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squirrel Posted 20 September , 2009 Share Posted 20 September , 2009 First picture, chap in whites or fatigue dress - as has been said, cook or associated "trade"; baker, butcher etc. Second picture - they look like the standard issue cardigan.
