Title: Training at Bury St Edmunds

Description: Copy of a postcard showing men from F Company, 1/1st Hertfordshire Regiment during training at Bury St Edmunds in August 1914. As Horace Ruffett, who sent the postcard to his brother Ernest on 30th August, said that Ernest would know nearly all the men shown, at least some must be from Little Gaddesden. Horace is the Lance Corporal on the right hand end. We do not know who the others are, but likely candidates are: Vernon Batchelor, Harry Cutler, William Fenn, Joe Hing, Richard Hoar, Bert Impey and Arthur Whitman.
