The photographs of the Jackson brothers in Italy where sent to me from a cousin in the united states.
The guards seem to be a family regiment, There was also John Jackson who was at wellington barracks and married Bessie colburn in 1890, I believe Bessie was in the service of  Queen Victoria, In 1894 John and Bessie were living back in Carluke John was a waterworks keeper Coldstream Carluke. The Photo is The Enfidaville war cemetery, Joe

The John Jackson at Wellington barracks and Bessie Colborne you refer are my great grandparents. My father Tom was younger brother of David Weir Jackson killed in Tunisia in 1943 during WW2. His mother Mary Weir died when Tom was 2 in 1934. Please get in touch for further info.
