Hello everyone, I have just been given a photo of who is believed to be my wifes ggf. Unfortunately there are no inscriptions on it whatsoever. His name was Arthur Loveridge and was believed to have joined the army, was not at home for the 1901 census, possibly serving overseas, and was killed at Ypres in 1915 whilst serving with the Bedfordshire Regiment. His memorial inscription is on The Menin Gate. I am hoping that some knowledgable person might be able to at least identfy the uniform, possibly pre-1914, and rank or recognize any other relavent features. I have it scanned as a jpeg ready to send to any obliging person. Regards Mick. (hot and sunny S.France)
I will be glad to look at it, I have several books on WW1, and I will put it with some others I have in case it comes up in another area. deilah evans ----- Original Message ----- From: <Csgen50@aol.com> To: <greatwar@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2007 7:05 AM Subject: [GREATWAR] Unidentified soldier. | Hello everyone, | I have just been given a photo of who is believed to be my wifes ggf. | Unfortunately there are no inscriptions on it whatsoever. | His name was Arthur Loveridge and was believed to have joined the army, was | not at home for the 1901 census, possibly serving overseas, and was killed at | Ypres in 1915 whilst serving with the Bedfordshire Regiment.

Hi Mick, I make no promises but am at least willing to have a look. You can send image as jpeg and please scan at as large resolution as possible. If there are items like a hat or cap badge, shoulder titles etc again could you make a separate scan of these again at as large resolution as possible.
