Kali, you may not think you did a good job, but I think its great, it brings the family alive...look at the little girls face!! you couldn't see that before. Thankyou.


Mack, whats the difference between artillery and infantry? I thought they were both to do with guns and canon fodder!

Thanks for the info on the belt...I thought it looked like a glorified scout belt..one pouch for string...one for pennies...one for a pencil...one for paper...one for a plaster...one for a safety pin...etc..

I'm still learning but as I understand, generally speaking, men in artillery regiments manned the big guns that were used to bombard/shell the opposing army, these tended to be behind the front line to some degree. The infantry men where armed with rifles etc and formed the thin, mobile and sadly vulnerable front line to the army.

I've found the info at this site very useful www.1914-1918.net, go to the "About the army" and "Soldier's life" sections.

Hi
The Cap Badge may have been black for this Regiment not gold.

Kali, all the colours now have more 'depth' than they had before. I'm glad you've had the opportunity to learn something new!! I've done all the tutorials and still can't do colouring!!


themonsstar, I'll try to find out, thanks for the tip.


Mack, thankyou for giving the scout belt a name.

many thanks to all those who helped to identify this regiment and those who helped to restore the old photo, certainly a new learning and a better understanding of the soldier. thank you
