I have a photo of Edwin Thomas Blake in uniform along with a friend. He has his cap on but, after some research, have not be able to determine to which regiment he actually belonged. Mum did tell me he was in France.

Hi Edna, Your grandfather would have been among other Bristolians as many Bristol men, during the Great War, went into the Royal Army Service Corps and also the Royal Artillery, Cavalry of the Line and the Royal Engineers. Incidentally, large numbers of Bristol men, whose preference probably would have been to serve with the Gloucesters, were put in other regiments such as the Worcesters and the Warwicks.
