24th (Denbigh Yeo) Btn RWF
Hi All
Finally tracked down a confirmed image of the 24th (DHY) Btn RWF ..... in Palestine  The chap on the far right is (345264) Sgt. Tom Penson.... he was later promoted to Lieutenant and died in France just before the end of the war. The group is some of his Company Sergeants. Tom Penson joined the Denbighshire Hussars Yeomanry Reserve Regiment, 2nd Troop, D Squadron, at Wrexham on December 4, 1914, as a private, number 1075. Note that one of the Sergeants has a POWFs above his chevrons and one of the others has a Fusil/Grenade...... I think the POWFs mean "Platoon Sergeant" and a continuity of the DHY NCO arm badge. Sadly no caps to prove the cap badge.... I still think the Other Ranks wore the DHY Bronzed POWFs and the Officers the RWF.
