The photo was in my grandfathers effects. He served RHA Q Battery.

Good Morning Bricketts......

Sorry cannot help you as it looks like a general group photo..... Don't you hate it when people do not write on the back the names.....

What was your Grandfathers name and do you have his medal?????

See here for the reason for asking.....

His name was Harmon Havelock Dyson.
An image of his medals is attached,

Good Morning Bricketts.....

I think that I may have an answer for you......

I seems that Harmon Havelock Dyson was taken prisoner at Sanna's Post.....

The photo may have been taken in the prison camp.....

Here is a list of the men who took part in that VC action.....

He was in "B" Sub Division

Mike

Thanks Mike. I thought the same thing. I have a few photo of Harmon from the period (you may remember I posted some time back a photo from Chelsea Hospital) that I am trying to compare to this one.

Hello Bruce

A great picture.

My only question abou the POW Camp theory is why are there so many men in civilian clothes?
