An informal group photograph in front of bell tents, James Torrins with colleagues. And a formal group photograph of The Royal Field Artillery, A sub section, with mascot. Torrins was assigned to look after the mascot and horses. What I do remember about my grandfather (James Torrins) is that he was wounded in France and got discharged. He kept the shrapnel, but I can't find it! James Torrins enlisted 18 May 1915 in the Royal Field Artillery, and was wounded in France and discharged on 24 November 1917. || 2 Royal Field Artillery photographs || || Photograph || James Torrins

A photographic portrait of a British family of three. || The family pictured on the front of this postcard comprises a small girl flanked by her soldier–father and her mother. The brass shoulder title on her father’s right shoulder appears to bear the initials ‘RGA’ (which stands for the Royal Garrison Artillery), and he wears a white lanyard. Printed on the reverse of the postcard is the name and address of the photographer: ‘Lilian Ream, M.P.P.A., Wisbech & Long Sutton’ (Wisbech is in Cambridgeshire, while Long Sutton is in Lincolnshire). The stamp box is marked ‘K Ltd / STAMP HERE’.

This studio portrait has been printed on a postcard back, whose printed information includes the details ‘British Made’ and ‘1045’. A young girl, dressed smartly in white, stands next to her seated mother and in front of her soldier–father. Her mother’s hatpin and jewellery are notable, particularly the brooch pinned to her collar and the heart-shaped locket that hangs below it. The ring on her soldier–father’s wedding finger is also discernible, as is a dark lanyard. His cap badge appears to be that of the Essex Regiment. || A real photographic postcard || || Photograph || A photograph of a British soldier and his family
