This photo was supposed to be a photo of my great grandfather Arthur Manuell c1867 b Chartham Kent, who was allegedly killed in action in WW1. However I've since discovered that the actual Arthur Manuell served 2 sentences of 7 year Penal servitude from 1894 -1900 then from 1900/1 to around 1908 for bigamy x 3. The 'killed in action' story was just that - a story- It was made up to cover the real antics of my G grandfather.
So now I'm left wondering who the chap in the photo could possibly be? - which I doubt we will ever find out. Can anybody date the photo or does anybody have any Idea what army regiment this chap served in. It has already been suggested that he was poss Calvary and he was a staff Sargent?
