Great Photos.

I would love to know what that Zulu is saying and pointing to ( 3rd Photo)
The gent he's talking to looks familiar. I'm sure he one of the survivors.

Whose photos are they/ Who took them?

Truly awesome and important find, priceless in every respect. I wonder if the SWB museum in Brecon would be interestd in having copies of these?

Hi Tasker .
The Album was put together by G. Barley who fought in WW1 , I have a photo of George ? I'll post it or send it to you via the pm service . I was lucky enough to purchase the album from Dr. David Fox via E-bay who is a member on the RDVC Forum . Glad you like them . You need to study mo

Cheers 90th. Salute

Hi All .
Littlehand this may be right up your alley , do you think you can find some info on Barley which is the chap who put the Album Together ? . I think his First Initial is ' G ' his surname is of course Barley , I have an address in the back of the album which says 33 Martins Avenue , Croyford ? Crayford ? slim chance the ' F ' could be a ' P ' so maybe ' Pond ' could be the last four letters .
A native of kent may be able to sort it out , I think Pete's from Kent ? . On the back of his photo is stated Aug 19 he is also wearing Corporal stripes .
Cheers 90th. Salute

The badge on G. Barley's cap is that of the Royal Berkshire regiment.
No men of this name, in this regiment died in the Gt War, so good news!

that is so weird that in 50 years theyve gone from being savages naked with spears to civilised people dressed up with hats

Just got around to viewing these photos. REALLY OUTSTANDING. I have seen a few others also. The photo showing the road going into the Battlefield. There used to be a farmhouse on the left side of the road. In the photo I saw, there were deep ruts in the road.
Appreciate viewing these.
Best
Alex
