Edwin and army palsThis photo was in the family album. Edwin is bottom left, and the other three men are unknown to the family. It's estimated that the photo was taken in 1918-9 because Edwin has 3 chevrons on his right arm, indicating he has served at least 3 years overseas (I believe he joined up in the first 6 months of 1915). His cap badge gives nothing away, he didn't serve in the Prince of Wales's own (or West Yorkshire) regiment, but the York and Lanc. Did he swap caps for the picture?Contributed by:
