9243 Private Sewell who enlisted June 19069082 F J Knight enlisted on 22 February 1906, so 9081 W H Norman would have enlisted at the same time. He would have signed up for 9 years Active Service then 3 with the Reserve. The hated Brodrick cap was phased out and replaced with the peaked Service Cap. At a guess, this picture is taken later in 1906 at a photographers in Bethnal Green, when he was with the 2nd Battalion in Aldershot, after his 3 months basic training at Brecon.Contributed by:
