If so I wondered if you would be able to get the picture of Rifleman T Wheeler in the 2nd Sept 1916 edition. It states on the list that he is pictured with 5 other soldiers of the London Regiment. Thanks Sheryl Sheryl, Hope this is the man you are interested in. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean tool Posted 27 October , 2018 Share Posted 27 October , 2018 Hello Dave, I'm helping a friend research a couple of his relatives and I believe there's a picture of them in the graphic. However I'm on my phone so can't see the dates they were listed. The family name is Trinder. (Possibly Alan John Trinder) If you need me to locate the date and year that's not a problem I'll have a look when I get home. Many thanks Dave Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dink999 Posted 27 October , 2018 Author Share Posted 27 October , 2018 Dan, There are 5 Trinder's listed but only one with the initial A. if this is not your man just let me know and I will repost the correct one Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dink999 Posted 28 October , 2018 Author Share Posted 28 October , 2018 Sheryl, Checking my database it looks like there is another picture of him in the 14th Oct 1916 edition of the Graphic in which he has been recorded as E. G. Wheeler when I'm sure it should be T. G Wheeler as in Thomas Gilbert. Here is that photo Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura😎 Posted 11 March , 2019 Share Posted 11 March , 2019 Hi, I saw on the list from the photographs that were in the Gloucestershire newspaper the name Albert Hitchman which is my Great Grandad, I just wondered if I was able to be sent the picture of him if that’s possible? 3257 was the number for his picture if that’s of any help? Tia 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dink999 Posted 12 March , 2019 Author Share Posted 12 March , 2019 Hi, It looks like there are 2 possible photos of Hitchman, both in groups of Gloucesters. The first is from April 1916, listed as Private Hitchman and the 2nd from August 1917 where he is described as Corp. A. Hitchman. Not sure if they are the same man or indeed your Great Grandad. If he was from Cheltenham, Glos then the man in the 2nd photo could be him Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloslad Posted 13 May , 2019 Share Posted 13 May , 2019 Hi Dave At the risk of taking advantage would you be able to tell me if the Chelt/Glos Chronicle has a photo of Lt (later Capt) F E Francillon of Dursley. He commanded D Coy, 1/5th Gloucesters and I believe he served from approx. 1912 to 1919. Many thanks Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 20 May , 2019 Share Posted 20 May , 2019 (edited) Hi, I'm not sure if you're still finding photos for people but in case you are please could you have a look for a photo of my Great, Great Uncle is Arthur William Eagles? He died in the Battle of the Somme age 21 on 23rd July 1916 and is commemorated on Thiepval Memorial as he has no known grave. His picture is in Cheltenham Chronicle & Gloucestershire Graphic Art and Literary Supplement, Issue 821, 23 September 1916. I'd be forever grateful if you could find any photos of him as we have none and know very little about his life. His nephew is still alive and would also be incredibly grateful if you could find a photo as his Uncle died before he was born. Thank you very much! Abi.

dink999 Posted 20 May , 2019 Author Share Posted 20 May , 2019 Hi Abi, Hope this photo brings your family some pleasure.

dink999 Posted 16 July , 2019 Author Share Posted 16 July , 2019 Hi, Your request for James Iles' photo is strangely timely, the text below his image states that his widow and child were living in Naunton, Glos. and I was in the village today having lunch at the Black Horse Inn after cycling from Cheltenham. How odd is that?? Anyway, hope you find the photo of help and interest. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojessholli Posted 17 July , 2019 Share Posted 17 July , 2019 Dave - I can't thank you enough for this. It means a great lot to our family as this is the first time many of us have seem him (no photos survived). So a HUGE thank you. And yes that is very odd that you were in his home town today - I guess that was James's way of saying 'Hey, remember me!' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
