The King's Liverpool
Evening all.
Just going through loading up some RPC and thought this maybe of interest. Marked Hightown 21st Jul 1916 and note says our exams start to morrow Saturday. Have imaged your Kings boys. Ta Jonathan IMG_20200411_0014_NEW.jpgIMG_20200411_0014_NEW (1).JPG IMG_20200411_0014_NEW (3).JPG

That is likely to be Sniggery Woods Camp, Hightown. After being wounded for a second time in 1917 my Grandfather was posted as a Serjeant instructor with the 3rd (Special Reserve) Battalion South Wales Borderers. Wearing two wound stripes and the ribbon of the "Mons" Star. Picture dates from early 1918. Ten of the men are wearing guernsey sweaters and three are wearing cardigans, all with the SWB cap badge on their chests. Perhaps a sports team, the corporal is possibly a PTI as is the man front and centre in a striped rugby type shirt.

I presume the King's Corporal is a bomber with that grenade above the stripes?
The SWB photo is very interesting in that they appear to be wearing cap badges on their jerseys? CB
