Chris Posted 23 May , 2005 Share Posted 23 May , 2005 Hi I think it is Drake that is interested in this unit, but not 100% sure. Anyway came across this pic (soory about quality) when i was browsing through the Hull Times. Caption names: Back Row: Gnr Hunter (Hedon); Gnr Roydhouse (Keyingham); Gnr Clarkson (Preston); Gnr Hornby (Hull); Bdr Frost (Hull) Sitting: Gnr Stamper (Hull); Roper (Hull); Jebson (Hull) Maybe of interest.

KONDOA Posted 28 May , 2005 Share Posted 28 May , 2005 Looks like all of the photos were taken at the same time and place. Th place is Kilindini Imperial Detail Camp between February and April 1916. Photographed are NCOs Fewster, Downs, Wainwright, Blands, Robertson and an unidentified chap (Haslin??) There may be more of this series of pictures somewhere.

KONDOA Posted 29 May , 2005 Share Posted 29 May , 2005 The man described as Gunner Yate in Josephs picture : Yates John G.W. Gunner 211 290202 That accounts for all but one in the pictures so far. Roop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest maj Posted 9 November , 2014 Share Posted 9 November , 2014 Hello, I have just come across this forum and it seems my great granddad Charles H Jebson was the chap listed. I have tried to open the images but nothing happens, could somebody help please. Thanks, MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KONDOA Posted 10 November , 2014 Share Posted 10 November , 2014 MJ I have sent you a message to contact me. The Jebson referred to is indeed your GGF. Roop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
