Can't place the other chap though, or think of a link between Asquith and Rasputin just yet. There are no links. I put up what I thought would be easy identifications. This included the profile of the third chap. Edited 13 March , 2019 by Uncle George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knotty Posted 13 March , 2019 Share Posted 13 March , 2019 (edited) Wasn’t there another Otago Regiment all Black lost? Got back to late for this WIT, but have listened to an enjoyable talk by the lead blacksmith (Tony Ingarfield) on the Ypres Peace Memorial of 2016. From its inception and erection in Ypres and the move to its final resting place the German Cemetery at Langemarck. Not bad for the North Worcester Fuschia Society👍 Edited 13 March , 2019 by Knotty Spelling mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
