Hi,

Interesting group shot. I often wonder the back story of such images?

Yes, great photo. The man in the middle row, to the left of the girl has 2 wound stripes, but what is the diagonal stripe just above it? Looks like he has at least 3 overseas chevrons on the other sleeve. Looks like they have MGC I shoulder titles?

Looking at the iron fence, which is of a peculiarly English type, the photograph appears to have been taken in England, probably Grantham. Circa 1918 because of the overseas chevrons worn by the man front left.

Question MGC photo
Is the young lady wearing some sort of uniform, possibly forage corps?
