Can anyone tell me anything about this photo. I beleive its the Manchester Regiment and my G Grandfather is in the picture.

I have no idea where Fleet Pond Camp is/was.

I am trying to find his Army records with no luck so far.

kind regards

Hi there

It is good to preserve these old photo's. Take a look at the attached site address, it will show you Fleet Pond today.

Ah so it is in the UK.Many thanks for that genechaser .

It certainly looks a beautiful spot today,and a worthwhile nature reserve.

The chaps in uniform are Royal Army Medical Corps...Dunno about the cooks though...

Mind you, in the 1911 RAMC trg manual, there is a special section on cooking....
