We are as certain as we can be that the short man on the back row right hand side is my grandfather Private Stanley Ord.

If anyone is interested, I have photographs of the graves of Private F Southern, Private G Wheatley and Private REA Mason - all buried in the VILLERS-FAUCON COMMUNAL CEMETERY.

I've just been looking for info about my G Uncle Charles Emerson Standley who went into the 14 battalion Northumberland fusilliers on 11 December 1915.  I have to comment on the amazing transformation you have done with that photo Morrie! It looks brilliant. Wish I could find one like that of my G Uncle!

Kind regards

A try from me, also, if Tessy is still looking she can get a free program with a softening tool called "FotoMix" which works well. Regards, John.

I'm new to this forum and actually baffled how it works as I'd like to reach Ord, the person who has kindly offered a photo of a relative of mine.

I've always been puzzled that the Commonwealth War Graves Commission have no info on REA Mason who lost his life 3rd Sept 1917 in France.  Full christian names are Robert Ernest Alfred born 1894 in Gateshead, son of George Steel Mason - an ancestor-uncle of mine born Craster. Mother was Ann Isabella Smailes, also from Craster, Dunster-born.

I understand that I have to post three messages before I can contact anyone directly, so I'd appreciate any help with getting the photo.

cheers,
pamela in Bermuda

Hello,
There may be small chance of anyone seeing this, but I have just found this thread. My Great-Grandad was Sgt. George Aynsley of the 19th battalion, Northumberland Fusiliers, who enlisted June 1915 and was sent home sick from France August 1917. I have heard family rumours that he was blown up in an ambulance and left unable to speak (have found no evidence of this myself) and wondered if anyone had any information on him or how he was injured?
I found this thread because I have a photograph almost identical to the one originally posted, with a very similar background (ivy and beehives). Does anyone know anything about the origin of the photographs? Will post if interested.
Would love to hear from you.
Kind Regards,
Megan

My Great Uncle was in the 19th and lost his life killed in action June 1918. Would love to know who was in this pic. I see the little guy in the front is so similar to my my late Dad as a young man, seen here on the left hop picking . Cant help wondering if it is Pvt Albert Victor Siebert Reg No 69605
