Nice WW1 VTC photo.

His personal weapon came from the back of the armoury - without a sling even . . .

Difficult to tell from the angle its sloping, but it could be a carbine Martini -Henry?

Interesting photograph.

Nice.

What's his rank, Section Commander? Section Corporal?

JT,

Section Commander is correct.
Equivalent of Cpl& L/Cpl.

Cheers for that. Couldn't quite make out if he had one or two braid bands on his cuff.

I am rather sure his 'tini is a rifle. The angle of the photo does make it a bit difficult to determine though.
