Sgt 32110 Arthur Varney 11 Bn Sherwood ForestersTaken in Early 1916 just after basic training, note the new uniform and spit polished boots. Probably taken at a studio in his hometown of Belper Derbyshire. Arthur enlisted in November 1915 having lied about his age in order to join up... an all to common theme.
