Photograph "Somewhere in France" Feb 1916

How fantastic to be able to confirm the date and place of the photo more than 100 years after it was taken.  That's special 

Best wishes

Hi Rockford

Thank you for your message, it is has been wonderful to read through the diaries but also very sobering and humbling.

You won't be surprised to know that 172/Bde. were at Cayeux at this time according to their diary.
On the 14/15th. they went up to their line (of guns) for practice shots.
There was nothing at Cayeux but their was a town called Caix a couple of miles away.
It would be a nice thought if a photographer came over from there with his children as mentioned
& took photos of the men, one which you have.

Hi Jim1,

I wish I had your understanding of military history so I could put the contents into context. I'm afraid I have to confess to being pretty hopeless on that score.
