adrianjohn Posted 30 January , 2014 Share Posted 30 January , 2014 The names, reading from right to left looking at the photograph: Front row: A H Lillington; R Beckwith; E A Bromwich; S Eaton. Second row seated: O Shorney; G Phillips; H G Powell; Corporal H Thomas, Squad Instructor; D O Yates; C Poole; W Adams. Third row: Td. S Osborne; F H Phipps (My Great Uncle); G Meredith; J Moss; W Ruscoe; J Pickering; J Wakelin; A Wiles; R Burgess; Td. S Hooper. Fourth row: F Woodley; W Wade; H Lissimore; C D Usherwood; A C Vickery; F Lightowler; A C Millett; B Noble; T A Armstrong. Fifth row: T Ogden; L J Rose; P W Braund; CB Brown; B Smalley; J Riddell. I did a very quick scan of the CWGC website and I think that most of the squad survived the war. I'd be interested in any feedback - especially if any of the names are familiar.

Busted for marching that in other regiments would be a delight to the RSM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moulie11 Posted 3 June , 2014 Share Posted 3 June , 2014 Adrian Quite surprised to have stumbled across this! Alfred Henry Lillington (19328), 3rd Coldstream Guards, was my 3x great-uncle and was killed on 9th October 1917. Needless to say I would be incredibly interested in a high resolution copy of this photograph, if at all possible? My grandfather would be pleased to see this. Thanks very much for posting. Luke.
