Hi ScouseBoy,
Just spoke again to the lady at the Gazette and she said that lots of troops passed through Weeton Barracks, and it is likely that the newspaper photographer covered this area. Unfortunately she is unable to search their records for this photograph as they are not digitalised; just boxed up in date order. Without the exact date, she won't be able to find it.
I think that I will just have to wait for his records to arrive and hope it will clarify when and where he served! The only time he mentioned his time in the Army was when he told my Nan that he was once escorting a dignitary/official on his motorbike. All of the troops were lined up to honour this person, and were ordered to put down their arms. The motorbike veered off course, and he ran over everything they had put on the floor!
Thankyou for all of your help and replies,
Alice
