Ferguson73uk Posted 11 December , 2006 Share Posted 11 December , 2006 My WFA pals and I have been poring over this postcard of a compnay of the Rifle Brigade. The hotel in the background is the 'Grand'. Tentative stuff I know, but can any Forum Pals hint at a location to try to identify this company? Thanks!

Barry Hayter Posted 12 December , 2006 Share Posted 12 December , 2006 I've googled like a man possessed but can't find anything that looks like the ramshackle lump above I'm afraid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferguson73uk Posted 15 December , 2006 Author Share Posted 15 December , 2006 Thanks for the reply, Langton. I'm wondering whether it's around Winchester or somewhere else where the Rifle Brigade companies were stationed in the early years of the War. I've ordered a copy of James's 'British Regts' (Xmas present to me from me!) which, I'm told, will help me locate where the various battalions were stationed. That should narow it down a bit.

Barry Hayter Posted 15 December , 2006 Share Posted 15 December , 2006 It looks English to me but have you considered it might be GRANDE with the E covered due to the angle? I'm not convinced but might just add a touch more confusion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
