Simon R Posted 18 April , 2020 Share Posted 18 April , 2020 What is going on in #35 above? I have a similar postcard for Northumberland Hussars at Farnley Park in 1914 (before August) and I have no idea what they're doing - is it a pillow fight??

I assume he has to hit the can with pillow/bag, blindfold? Notice couple of Australian type bush hats too. I took this to be a pre-war camp photo?

He's the only one I know every time. This John Wylie with his son, Alan Robertson Wylie, born 10/6/1916. This taken when he was ten months old so approx April 1917?
