Major R A. Fawcett 6th West Yorks

[Chris_Baker]

I understand that there is a photo of Major R. A. Fawcett in the history of the 6th West Yorks by Capt. E.V. Tempest. I would be really grateful if someone could scan the pic for me. If Fawcett gets any mentions in the text that would be great too.

Hello Chris,

Here he is.

I was finally able to get into photobucket to upload the scan.

Cheers,

Nigel

That's fantastic. Thank you. Were there any mentions?

[Nigel Marshall]

Still looking Chris, but I will scan/photograph any I find.

Cheers,

Nigel

I'd appreciate it. The war diary is very shy at mentioning men by name, even officers. He was badly wounded on 1 July 1916, by the way.
