Capt. Charles "Charlie" Legard M.C.
British Army 7th Battalion Lincolnshire Regiment
from:Heighington
This photo taken in the trenches secretly I believe-by Captain Bernard Neville of the 7th Battalion Lincolnshires who was killed in action in 1916 at The Bluff near Ypres. The photo shows Captain Charles Legard MC on the right (my grandfather), in the middle Lt C H Waldron, and Captain White MC the battalion doctor: It was taken at Y Wood on the Menin Road, Ypres in December 1915.
His two brothers, Bruce and Geoffrey Legard (commemorated at St Johns Church Washingborough), were killed in action on 27th of Octber 1914, and 8th of May 1915 respectively. They were in Queens First, West Kent Regiment, and Northumberland Fusliers. Another brother, Roger Legard was in the Lincolnshire Yeomanry. Bruce was a keen horseman, and hunted with local packs I believe.
