FROGSMILE Posted 20 January , 2021 Share Posted 20 January , 2021 (edited) 35 minutes ago, Bob Davies said: Certainly a possibility. A while ago I found a chap on his horse pictured at a custom house at a dock side before he left for France. I looked at all the towns he might have been at along his way. So this might be a similar situation, waiting to embark somewhere? It’s not impossible of course, but in this case it’s not one man, but at least part of a battery. It’s more likely to be their accommodation somewhere, and with access to their barracks stores necessary to set up the photo.

Very true Frogsmile and thanks :-) I would imagine they sent the RFA from various ports so a number of places to look at. The search continues....

SHJ Posted 21 January , 2021 Share Posted 21 January , 2021 Always nice to see another Rosener image! I guess the stones on the ground are for boot-scraping before getting into the tent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FROGSMILE Posted 21 January , 2021 Share Posted 21 January , 2021 (edited) That’s a super picture of an ASC signaller. The ASC were among the few corps whose units often wore collar badges on service dress long before general approval was given by the Army in 1924.

I guess the stones on the ground are for boot-scraping before getting into the tent. Glad you like it. The stones are either to scrape boots on, or covering a patch of already churned ground.

Unfortunately the reflected light has obscured some of the detail, so it’s not realistic to be 100% sure. If Charles Squires is a common name it probably won’t help.

I had read about these before, but never seen them until now. Thank you for posting. So that's what my Great Grandfather is wearing. I had wondered if its was a coat or a gown and now it is clear!
