Hereford Horseman Posted 16 September , 2016 Share Posted 16 September , 2016 (edited) This photo turned up in the 'Firing Line' archive: No date, simply captioned "Captain Perry, Lt FAS Hinton, Lt Carl Langer on duty King's" - Carl Langer was my Austrian grandfather and is seen sporting the Imperial Service badge indicating TA who were wiling to serve overseas.

What an odd photo - and more than a touch of Clouseau about your grandfather! https://postimg.org/image/5y61t88ob/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hereford Horseman Posted 17 September , 2016 Share Posted 17 September , 2016 Sorry to disappoint, Perry is seated (look at the cuff rank), my grandad is the one scowling on the left, Hinton (later Lt. Col.) on the right - Hinton's medals recently came up for sale.... sad.... HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrel Posted 18 September , 2016 Share Posted 18 September , 2016 I just thought that the names were listed left to right...one on the left might be the Orderly Officer then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hereford Horseman Posted 19 September , 2016 Share Posted 19 September , 2016 The listing is that attached to the photo, but it is clearly in the wrong order. HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
