This is a picture of 21092 Private Arthur Heath.

I think he is third row 8th from the left (4th from the right) but am not 100% sure. What do others think?

Hello everybody,
                       I am new to computers ( learning by my mistakes ) and new to the forum. I joined hoping to find a photograph of my Grandfather and I am so pleased to report that I have.
 21076 Private James Duffy, Military Medal 26/10/1917 Passchendaele.
Bottom row, far left, smiling as always.
In 1914 he worked at the Co-Operative Society's shop in Bell Lane, Bury, and lived at 17 Parsonage Street, Bury.

First post on forum and a mere 13 years after the last post in this section.  I have been researching my family and on this photo is my grandfather Fred Barber, he's listed as platoon sergeant and is seated to the left of the officer as we look at it.  From the research I've made so far I'm astonished that he survived the war.  As far as I'm aware he fought all the way through as platoon sergeant with the 22nd Manchesters and finished up in north Italy, returning home in (to Rochdale) 1918.  He volunteered in November 1914 and was made sergeant very early, does anyone know where and when this photo was taken?  I knew him as a youngster, he died in 1971.
