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

Also, the trades of the Front row in this image of members

of A Company while undergoing training at Clipstone which

was sent to me by John Cumming, the Grandson of Pte Hugh

Bannon (back row, on the right)?

Or are they simply wearing regulation issue dark knitwear cardigan?

many thanks Steve - is that a deffo?

Cheers all

Cook?

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.
