army historian Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) Hello all, along with the man's medals I got this really neat photo album. Runs from 1873 - 1939/40). There are many many more photos, but will try to keep it simple (and mostly military). Man served 1898-1899, 1901-1903, 1910-1912, and 1917-1919. Cheers Captain Albert Age 3 1876 with sisters and brother he is 6 1879 See Next Edited January 26, 2011 by army historian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Very cool stuff!! I have not seen such a thorough set of photos for such an early career. If I am reading things correctly, he was a 23 year plus Private? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
army historian Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 About that but a lot of broken service. Here are some of his medals. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter monahan Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Lovely! I recall when I was young and foolish being less than impressed by 'all that paper' that came with some groups, but now that I look for the man behind the uniform/award, this sort of stuff is priceless. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
