Royal Field Artillery

We have yet to really dig into Herbert Cecil Brooks' military career. In the meantime here are some great photographs from his service during the First world War.

Paddy Boy. Herbert planned to purchase him at the end of the war. Unfortunately Paddy Boy was killed just a day before the armistice.

Mounted group.

Herbert 's Battery. He is seated, centre of front row.

Unknown group. Herbert is on the top row, fourth from left.

The same group as above, this time minus horses.




Obviously the top man of the Indian group.





This is Herbert with the French family that Herbert was billeted with.
