2/7th Hampshire Regiment

Edwin (Ted) Kitcher is in the fourth row from the bottom, second from the left. As I understand it this photo was taken in Bombay, possibly in 1915, as my grandfather told me he joined in 1913, trained, went to India in 1914 for 18 months, then went to Mesopotamia, being demobbed in 1919. He had transfered to the 1/4th as they had lost so many men. View larger Image
