Stevejm Posted 30 June , 2021 Share Posted 30 June , 2021 This is a very long shot but I wondered if anyone has any group photos of 2nd Battalion KSLI taken in early 1915. My Grandfather served with 2KSLI in South Africa ( 2nd Boer War) then India before completing his service prior to WW1. He was recalled and rejoined his unit in February 1915 in Belgium but was then WIA when on patrol in St Eloi in March 1915. I am attaching a photo of 2KSLI tug of war team in India 1907 in case anyone is interested. My Grandfather, James Merrill is second from left back row. We don't have any WW1 photos of him so I thought I would give it a try on the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
