    "In the winter of 1917-18 [Reid] made a semi-official speaking tour of the United States of America for the war effort, but became ill at St Louis in February and again in April after returning to London. In July he took part in a debate on Irish affairs, moving an important amendment to defuse a motion condemning the government's policy. He died on 13 September 1918 of cerebral thrombosis, survived by his wife, who the previous year had been appointed G.B.E. for work on behalf of convalescent servicemen, and their two sons and daughter." -- Australian Dictionary of Biography Online

    I never did like Sergeants, nasty beggars always shouting and roaring and giving people a hard time! I think that the collective for that horrible rank should be a "Bellow" of Sergeants? Those daft looking Pillbox hats make them look different but I suspect that he is the man on the left front on the right side of the officer with the sword.

    From this informative site , I found "a subtlety of sergeants at law", but I think that refers to some sort of a fancy lawyer, and there's nothing too subtle about these sergeants.

    At a guess (and after a few mins of Google-fu), these chaps are from the Royal Horse Artillery.
  • blackpoolbeach said:
    Some have the Royal Artillery badge above their stripes. All are wearing snake belt buckles with blanco on the belt. Here are some earlier uniforms of the RA. www.britishempire.co.uk/forces/armyuniforms/britishartill... "The Sam Browne belt was ordered to be gradually introduced from 1898 to replace the white pouchbelt and binoculars case."

    Is it me or do they all look very, very like one another around the facial area as in the image of one another? Look at their eyes!
