elle72 Posted 24 June , 2008 Share Posted 24 June , 2008 My avatar is a photo of my great uncle, William Henry Bowman of the 51st Battalion, AIF. He was 18 when he enlisted and this photo was taken before he left Fremantle never to return to his homeland. He was killed about a year after this photo was taken. He was the eldest child in his family and before enlisting he worked on the family farm. He was tall - nearly 6 foot, he had grey eyes and light brown hair. I love this photo because he looks so gentle and serious. Elle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest geoff501 Posted 14 July , 2008 Share Posted 14 July , 2008 Mine shows the number of searches carried out on my WW1 search engine and the time and date of the last search. It is updated in real time. It also has a low carbon footprint of under 400 bytes.

Buttercup Posted 15 July , 2008 Share Posted 15 July , 2008 Mine is the badge of the 16th Battalion CEF my Great-Uncle's Battalion. Take care, Neil Hi Neil - my Great Uncle's son was in the 16th Battalion - do you know anything about their movements in France or even if they went there? His name was Robert Owen Frisby from Vancouver BC and nearly nineteen on his attesation papers. I would be interested in any information you might have on them.

jwp2007 Posted 15 July , 2008 Share Posted 15 July , 2008 Mine is my grandfather, taken in late 1918 at sandwich military hospital after having his leg amputated, he was in the 3rd London regiment (RF) at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Connolly Posted 18 July , 2008 Share Posted 18 July , 2008 Mine is of that most unlady-like of women, "Mother"; a 9.2" howitzer at the IWM, London. Not the kind of thing you'd want to get dropped on your foot, and given the size of shell she fired, one feels sorry for anyone on the receiving end. I've seen war diary records for Siege Batteries that used these weapons, typically firing from 50 to 200 shells at enemy targets in a shoot (from 4.5 to 18 tons of shells!).

Steven Broomfield Posted 18 July , 2008 Share Posted 18 July , 2008 Richard's back! But now he's been replaced by that epitome of military efficiency, Captain Mainwaring. A fine soldier, a great bank manager, and a good man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick ODwyer Posted 19 July , 2008 Share Posted 19 July , 2008 Mine is my grandfather, here seen as 8691 Private John Fleming, 2nd Battalion, The Connaught Rangers, in India c. 1907. He transferred to the 14th Hussars, still in India, in late 1907. Although he spent only two years in the Connaughts and about 10 in the Hussars this is the only photo I have of him as a young man.
