Sgt Petts again

Here are some more photos of my grandad, Co Sgt Major Petts
Some are from 1935 pre WW2.
He is only 21 and looks so young!!

And one of the Nigerian Reg in WW2.

Hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I do.
Oh how I wish I could ask him questions about these photos and the guys in them!!

I love the first picture - very informal. And the two "dandies" in the kilts on the far right! The guy sitting down looks like he's just been told to keep his knees together Cheers SP

Oops sorry there is the photo of grandad in his dress uniform.

Plus I thought I would put some photo's of my great grandad, Sgt Petts father in WW1, with the other Tommies.

He does, knees locked together.

I have a photo of grandad somewhere in a saffron kilt, he must have been just poing because only the Pipers wore the Kilts.
I love looking at these old photo's.
I just wish I had as many for WW1.
