There are not many photos of identified soldiers that appear on ebay and there are only 6 that I can find at the moment. However, I would like to check the listing regularly and name them here so that, hopefully, a family member can purchse them. I have listed the present one below with the regimental number, if known and the end time (in brackets) for the auction.....Janine Serg. Nicholas BRIGGS Royal Artillery (12/06 5.18am). Pte. Albert ORCHARD SE/5646 Army Veterinary Corps(12/06 5.18am). Pte Eli BYE 315796 Chesire Regiment (12/06 5.18am). Sapper L.HART Royal Engineers (12/06 5.18am). Sapper G.D. POGSON Royal Engineers (12/06 5.18am). Sapper W.GRANT 75451 Royal Engineers (12/06 5.18am).

I know I do the same. I always keep my fingers crossed that one day the medals that I have been searching for will appear. Thought I would start this thread to avoid getting confused on the thread that Tony runs. Hope to be able to reunite you one day.........Janine

Hope it's OK to put this one on your thread? I have a postcard photo of ten WW1 Troopers - they have signed the reverse (12 sigs!!). From research they are either Gloucester Regiment/Yeomanry/Hussars or Royal Field Artillery. (stuff in brackets, below, is from my research). The photo was taken at Northgate Street, Gloucester. I will email a copy to anyone who would like one. Eric G THORNTON-BROWNE Harry SHERBORNE Arthur J WORLOCK (identified through member on this site!) Norman G WITCHELL (Middle name George - Glos Hussars Pte 2645) H W FOWLES (Possibly Hubert William - 2nd Lieut Royal Field Artillery) Reginald ROWLEY A N RAYNHAM (Archibald Nelson - Glos Yeomanry Sgt 2366) J COOK R VIZOR (Raymond - Glos Yeomanry Pte 2293) J E BENNETT BRAIN Philip WOLLEN (Glos Hussars/Yeomanry Pte 2402) H D LLOYD Best Wishes Sarah

Hi Lilly, On the opening page select collectibles - listed on the left hand side. When the catagories come up pick the WW1 section and when this shows, on the life hand side there will be a number of sub sctions that you can opt for. Photographs are half way down. At the moment there are around 287 but only 6 have been identified. Alternatively, if you know the regiment, you can search for items for the regiment on the homepage. You will get a better selection by choosing the first option that I have mentioned....Good luck.....Janine
