Jerry B Posted 29 May , 2017 Share Posted 29 May , 2017 Aussie with Rising sun collars and on his slouch hat. I notice he has football buttons and a cover on his watch. Anyone know the colour patch? This is a lovely sharp image from Pontypridd in Wales, which came as part of a "family" lot from west Wales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry B Posted 29 May , 2017 Share Posted 29 May , 2017 A member of the Welsh, which interestingly has the same photo backdrop as one I already owned, with two Welshmen in it. Possibly the same man in both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I think the two chaps on the right may have different numbers. They are wearing No10 patches. Perhaps 10th Training Reserve Battalion. There are a couple of different colour combinations on show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't find a G.Torrence in the Medal Index cards for the ASC, could have been on Home Duty I suppose. There is a G .Torrance though, he finally went to France in 1918. Second one could be F. Timpson, although again, none in ASC MIC lists. Plenty of F.Simpsons though.

themonsstar Posted 9 June , 2017 Share Posted 9 June , 2017 Frederick Barter VC MC He was born in Cardiff. He was 24 years old, and a Company Sergeant Major in the Special Reserve,The Royal Welch Fusiliers, attached to the 1st Battalion, The Royal Welch Fusiliers during the WW1 when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC. On 16 May 1915 at Festubert,France, Company Sergeant-Major Barter, when in the first line of German trenches, called for volunteers to enable him to extend our line, and with the eight men who responded, he attacked the German position with bombs, capturing three German officers, 102 men and 500 yards of their trenches. He subsequently found and cut 11 of the enemy's mine leads situated about 20 yards apart. William Charles Fuller VC On 14 September 1914 near Chivy-sur-Aisne,France, Lance-Corporal Fuller advanced under very heavy enemy rifle and machine gun fire to extract an officer who was mortally wounded, and carried him back to cover. Fuller won his Victoria Cross for saving Captain Mark Haggard, who had fallen wounded. He carried him a distance estimated at 100 yards to a ridge where he managed to dress the officer's wounds. Captain Haggard asked Lance Corporal Fuller to fetch his rifle from where he had fallen. He did not want the enemy to get it, Fuller managed to do. With the help of two others, Private Snooks and Lieutenant Melvin, Officer in charge of the machine-gun section of the Welsh Regiment, they managed to get Haggard to the safety of a barn that was being used as a first-aid dressing station. Lance-Corporal Fuller remained with Captain Haggard trying to help him until the officer died later on that evening. His last words to Fuller were "Stick it, Welsh." Afterwards, he died. Lance-Corporal Fuller attended to two other officers who had also been brought to the barn wounded (Lieutenant The Honorable Fitzroy Somerset and Lieutenant Richards). The barn came under heavy fire, and the wounded men and officers were evacuated. Afterwards, the barn was razed to the ground via German shell-fire.
