Richard Fisher Posted 21 November , 2010 Share Posted 21 November , 2010 Richard, Do you know the publisher or location of the RWY photos? My all consuming interest and what got me started, is Forest Row Camp in Sussex, one of the early stations of 1/1 South West Mounted Brigade. The background to the mounted shots is not dis-similar to a couple of cards in my collection. Phil Phil, The first of F.J. Hinton is East Grinstead Photo Co., Railway Approach. One of the examples has been used as is post-marked East Grinstead 25th April, 1915. The second of F.J. Hinton is A.G. Wheller, 11 Clinton Terrace, Dormansland, Surrey. Again, a used example is post-marked East Grinstead but the date is unreadable. The unknown R.W.Y. mounted soldier is also A.G. Wheller. The portrait of Edgar is a Swindon company so done while he was still at home. Hope this is of interest, Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muerrisch Posted 21 November , 2010 Share Posted 21 November , 2010 any ideas of time period of this one??? 1903 give or take a year or two [head dress] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Evans Posted 21 November , 2010 Share Posted 21 November , 2010 Richard, Thanks for getting back to me. All three are of Forest Row Camp vintage and would confirm that he and the unknown man were with the 1/1 SWMB contingent. I would recognise that fencing anywhere The card I posted was by Wheller, although I don't think the subject appreciated his workmanship, as the message begins "These are a rotten failure. The fool must pull the trigger while I was trying to get his back legs out - so it's all up the stick." I hope TT doesn't mind if I go off subject and post this photo of one of the faces of the "Monument", for your benefit. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trenchtrotter Posted 21 November , 2010 Author Share Posted 21 November , 2010 Dont mind the odd straying at all, however please try not to post images of tanks or generic pictures such as Daily Mail battlefield images. The idea is to remember those who served either by name or image and also post images of uniforms so that unusual insignia on period pictures can be seen. Thanks PS Grumpy any comments on the ASC chap and grenade above chevrons. I posted an image a while back with an interpreter and asked if you had knowledge of ASC sgts having brass grenades above. Thanks TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muerrisch Posted 23 November , 2010 Share Posted 23 November , 2010 Beyond saying that, if he is definitely ASC he should not be wearing a grenade, I am stuck. Grenades above chevrons: Grenadier Guards HAC Infantry RE full sergeant and above TMB-qualified men and officers Bomber-qualified men and officers and I think that is it!

trenchtrotter Posted 23 November , 2010 Author Share Posted 23 November , 2010 His cap badge looks 100 % ASC and certainly not any of the others. Thanks anyhow for reply. I do appreciate it. TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
