Default Secretan photographer

Hi all

A while back a member informed me in a thread that a Secretan was a regimental photographer to a London regiment, and mentioned they had several photographs attributed to him. I can't find the thread, or recall which regiment it was.
Can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks

Colin

Found it; G.W. Secretan was appointed official photographer to the Artist's Rifles

Cheers

Hi, I have a photo of a group of 7 WAACs taken at Hare Hall, must have been sometime in 1917. My grandmother is one of them and served as a Forewoman with the 2/28 Artists Rifles OTC. I have been told that the photographer was most probably G.W. Secretan and I wondered if there would have been a record made by him, or an assistant, at the time, recording details of who he'd photographed and where. The number inscribed on the front is 5025.
