Additional: I have added this photo as it shows Drummers of the 2nd Battalion Grenadier Guards (I believe before war broke out). My Great Grandfather CSM Charles Hearn (Serjeant Drummer before that in the battalion) has written names of the deceased on the back including "Dell D of W". I have also uploaded an image of the back of the photo to show this.

Title: Back of the Chelsea Barracks photo

Description: Back of photo showing drummers of the 2nd Grenadier Guards - showing notes made of the names of deceased, with some dates and scant other information.

Connected by: Ailsa114764

Additional: My Great Grandfather CSM Charles Hearn of the 2nd Grenadier Guards made these notes on the back of the photo, presumably these people appear in the photograph? I have also uploaded an image of the photograph in the hope this piece of evidence is connected Drummer Dell.
