  • Clady



    can anyone read what is above the 1917 date on this photograph I think it might be Clady, what does it mean? there is a place in Ireland called Clady...... was it a training camp.

    What I understand from this photograph is that it is of a boy/man who is portraying action in France in WW1. It clearly isn't but is the wording above the date a clue to what it is all about.

    I am thinking that he maybe had the photograph taken to send home to his family....in case he didn't return. I have traced this person to the Kings Shropshire Light Infantry.... I think.... the picture is a bit of a white herring as it isn't the same uniform as the one he was married in a few month earlier.

      I have been on the internet and there seems to be a photographer that specialised in photographing soldiers at this time. I am thinking that Clady was his studio.... Somewhere in France. I am also thinking it isn't really important to my research. X x x

              It is an oil painting on some sort of wooden/decoupage base- it is done by Mon. Clady, Rue des HĂȘtres, Graville-Sainte-Honorine. He seemed to have made a number of these for soldiers in France. I wonder if many survived. The one my family member has certainly survived however it was sent to GB, and certainly a move to Australia and thirty years travelling around that country working on sheep farms etc ... It has held together well x x Stella x x
