Jack Johnson Posted 4 November , 2010 Share Posted 4 November , 2010 Another unknown wartime family. One of my favourite postcards, I always assumed it was a mother and father with their children, going by the family resemblances. Although it must have been lucky to have both boys at home, especially as they are in different regiments? (Suffolk and Queens Own RWK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Johnson Posted 5 November , 2010 Share Posted 5 November , 2010 Group shot of Royal Fusiliers, photo is marked 'Richmond' in the corner. Overseas Service Stripes - 1918 > A couple of chapes with LG Lewis Gunner badges, one with a bandsmans badge. 4 Wound Stripes visible. One chap stood at the back has had his hair closely cropped, just leaving a patch at the very front. ( I think he has more hair in that splendid moustache!)

SFayers Posted 8 November , 2010 Share Posted 8 November , 2010 Some forum members may recall me posting this chap's picture a few years back. An early war photograph taken by Boughtons of Ipswich of a young Suffolk Regiment territorial (unknown battalion). Note his Imperial Service badge and rather 'solid-looking' cap badge (not the usual 'open' badge associated with the Suffolk Regiment TF - or is it a TF badge with cloth material behind it?). He also has a curious 'crossed' badge just visible on his upper right arm (I can't make out what this is). This young chap was the sweetheart of my nan's eldest sister, and sadly he was killed during the war; after this my great aunt never married. Sadly no one in the family know's this chap's name, and of course those that once did are now long gone. All the best Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, click on the photo to get access to a larger version in flickr. A cracking example of the early use of 'stable belts' too. They were frequently used to hold up trousers alongside braces, which at that time had no elastic and therefore no 'give'. When the men had to do physical work, such as mucking out at stable parade, they invariably let the braces slip of the shoulders so that they could bend freely and relied on the stable belt to secure the high waisted and loose fitting trousers/breeches.

All the best Steve I am wondering if his badge is one with a castle variant with just 2 towers instead of the usual 3. He definitely seems to have the battalion 'scout' badge on his left upper arm.

FROGSMILE Posted 9 November , 2010 Share Posted 9 November , 2010 Alternatively it might be this variant of badge, where the towers are configured in a solid mass rather than the more usual fretted or voided (cut out) method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockdoc Posted 9 November , 2010 Share Posted 9 November , 2010 A few of mine to add into the mixture! Firstly two of my Grandfather, 57659 Herbert Gaskin RFA: Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockdoc Posted 9 November , 2010 Share Posted 9 November , 2010 A couple of pre-War Territorial photos (I think). The first is an unknown man and the second is Thomas Edmund Butlin, who served in the 2/7th Warwicks and was killed at St Quentin in March 1918 at the start of the German offensive. Thomas' uniform seems very ornate. Comparing this chap to Thomas Butlin I think he's another of my relatives on that side of the family but I have no idea who he is. Another Gunner, of course.

Rockdoc Posted 9 November , 2010 Share Posted 9 November , 2010 Three more unknowns. Two ASC (probably MT), an ASC and, I've been told on here, a KRRC soldier. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
