Gareth Davies Posted 16 February , 2014 Share Posted 16 February , 2014 2 questions: a. What was Gen Bushe's appointment in 15/16 at Woolwich? b. When in 1916 was this film made? Google reveals that he was a Gunner but little else about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Broomfield Posted 16 February , 2014 Share Posted 16 February , 2014 Ah, that film. Looked in Who's Who (1924) and Debrett's (1925), and not much help. He was Assistant Director of Artillery, 1906-10 and Commandant of the Ordnance College, 1911, but his war service is merely given as "a Brig. Com. 1914-17",I'm afraid. Not a youngster: b 1858.

Gareth Davies Posted 16 February , 2014 Author Share Posted 16 February , 2014 Thanks for looking. I think he was Woolwich Garrison Commander and had some training Regts under command (the troops being inspected by the Bishop in the film). Great Grandfather-in-law was his DAA and QMG Nov 15 - May 16 but I don't think he is shown in the film, the Maj on the right at the start is a Gunner I think and the very tall Major is too tall to be him.
