A photograph of a British soldier and his family || This photograph of a British soldier and his family has been mounted within a beige cardboard mount (cropped out here). The soldier’s cap badge tells us that he is serving in the 9th (Machine Gun) Battalion RND Royal Naval Division (which dated from 1916). Pictured him are his wife (with a ribbon around her neck), two daughters and a son. The name of the photographic studio that produced this photograph is printed on the front: ‘Angle’s Studios, / 110, Southwark Park Road, S.E. / and 40, Walworth Road, S.E.’ i.e., south-east London. The family’s names have been written on the back: ‘ALBERT EDWARD FEY SM sergeant-major? / + WIFE ELLEN ELLISTON / + CHILDREN / FLORENCE FEY ELDEST / ETHEL FEY / ALBERT EDWARD FEY JNR’; the numbers ‘63921’ have been written in a different hand below. Research suggests that Albert Edward Fey married Ellen Sarah Elliston in 1907, when they were both twenty-three. Annie Florence Fey was born in 1908; Ethel Caroline Fey, in 1910; and Albert Edward Fey junior in 1913. The family appears to have lived in Bermondsey, south London.
