Check also the photographs of the Scottish Women's Hospitals units in Serbia, Salonika campaign etc!

After much discussion on the other forum Can anybody throw any light on this unidentified mounted (WWI?) soldier ? We now think that the middle standing chap may actually be from a British or allied (e.g. Australian) mounted unit, in working clothes of vest/waistcoat and (possibly) forage cap - specifically see the photos referred to in replies #17 and #31.

Most roots researched back to the early/mid 1800s. Years noted as 'pre' refer to my direct ancestors, although I'm interested in any relatives:
Mitchelstown, Co.Cork: CORBETT (pre1935), SWEENEY  (pre1935), CUSACK? (pre1894), KEYS? (pre1894)
Mallow, Co.Cork: BROWNE (1895-1935)
Caher, Co.Tipp: BROWNE (pre1895), PURTELL(pre1895)
Cashel, Co.Tipp: FANNING (pre1886)
Llanelly, Carms: GRIFFITHS (pre1934), REYNOLDS (pre1901), WILLIAMS (pre1934)
Ton Pentre, Glams: LEWIS (pre1901)
