John Beech Posted 16 January , 2021 Share Posted 16 January , 2021 Afternoon All Trying to find a portrait photograph of Major General Eric Girdwood who commanded the 156th (Scottish Rifles) Brigade in Egypt in 1916 before being promoted and taking command of 74th (Yeomanry) Division. I have tried the National Portrait Gallery, the Imperial War Museum and Australian War Memorial but not found one. Can anyone help? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHJ Posted 16 January , 2021 Share Posted 16 January , 2021 (edited) Here are some as a starter for 10... courtesy British Newspaper Archive. They're all not ideal but the baby presentation is so bad it's great! Edited 16 January , 2021 by SHJ spelling and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
