  • Philip Clifford
    My Great Uncle Philip (Phillip) Clifford is pictured here in civilian dress and as he was in the military from 1897 until his death, it was either taken before he enlisted or when he was on leave from the army. There is no year or location recorded on the photo but it is likely that it was taken in Cardiff.
