Lovat Scouts,1st Yeomanry Cyclist Regiment 1917
« on: Thursday 08 January 09 11:13 GMT (UK) »
This is the very longest of long shots! I was recently viewing the website for the Queens Own Highlanders (Seaforth & Camerons) Regimental Association. I came across a photograph of a Brigade of the 1st Yeomanry Cyclist Regiment, Lovat Scouts  taken somewhere in East Anglia in 1917. The photograph was taken by Southwold based Photographer Frank Jenkins. My late grandfather George Jackson Stewart (1898-1964) was serving with this regiment during this period and I think he might be in the photograph but due to its size it is hard to distinguish the faces properly in order to make a positive identification. Coincidentally, I have an individual wartime postcard picture of my grandfather (in his uniform) also  taken by Frank Jenkins  in Southwold. This makes me even more certain that my grandfather is in the other photograph. It states on the website that  the Brigade photograph was provided by Phillip/Kathryn Clifford who I think are grandchildren of Second Lt Gordon Llewellyn Griffiths (1888-1943) who also features in the Brigade photograph. I am vainly hoping that I can somehow make contact with  the Cliffords in order to try  and view a larger scale photograph and possibly obtain a copy if it turns out that my grandfather is indeed one of those soldiers featured. Thank you for bearing with me on this query. All and any help would be very much appreciated.
