Dee Posted 11 September , 2004 Share Posted 11 September , 2004 Mine is my Granddad - Pte Percy Smith - see signature... Unfortunately I don't possess a photo of him in uniform and I never got the opportunity to meet him, so it is my way of remembering him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveE Posted 11 September , 2004 Share Posted 11 September , 2004 Mine's simply the cap badge of the 25th Battalion Royal Fusiliers (Frontiersmen) in honour of my Great Grandfather who served with them in East Africa before a transfer to the Labour Corps after contracting malaria.

Stuart Lawton Posted 11 September , 2004 Share Posted 11 September , 2004 Mine is my great uncle John William Lawton who served with the MGC and died on 14 Septemebr 1917 from wounds. The original is about 18" wide by 24" high and is the only picture the family have of him. I also have one the same size of my grandfather, his brother, and both can be seen in the gallery. Those of you with eagle eyes will have noticed the cap badge is the Bedfordshire Regiment in which they both enlisted. Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spike10764 Posted 12 September , 2004 Share Posted 12 September , 2004 (edited) Mines from a sketch of the cap badge of the 11th Battalion Border Regiment, the Lonsdale Pals Battalion-coloured orange to make the lettering stand out(alright so you still can't read it at 150x150 pixels but I know it's there and it makes the avatar more colourful) Edited 18 September , 2005 by spike10764 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon Posted 13 September , 2004 Share Posted 13 September , 2004 =it's me; I was told I am a direct descendant from a very brave breed whose achievements in WW1 should not be forgotten: Chester, I'm impressed with the montage. The photos of dogs in war time are very evocative and powerful. So is the picture of you by Egbert's grandfather's grave. Where is this exactly, please? Thanks.

Dragon Posted 13 September , 2004 Share Posted 13 September , 2004 (edited) My dragon is home made. It changes its clothes and accessories with the moving seasons. Given that my name's Gwyneth, I think the connection is obvious! When I'm in reflective mood, I sometimes decide to use to use a peace symbol. It's a photo I took in the reconstructed church at Bennwihr, Alsace, the village which was completely obliterated in the fighting for the Colmar Gap.

Guest katiepops Posted 13 September , 2004 Share Posted 13 September , 2004 Mine is of my Great Uncle, Frank Henry Carr, 4th Royal Irish Dragoons. No idea when the pic was taken though. Oh, and the avatar is only a tiny bit of the picture ... he's sitting on his horse. Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
