Pte. Edward Henry Harvey
British Army 2nd Btn. Kings Royal Rifle Corps
from:Kilburn, London
Edward Henry Harvey was my grandfather. He served as a regular soldier in the Kings Royal Rifle Corps before the war and was stationed in Dagshai, India as shown in the 1911 Census. Edward was discharged medically unfit on the 22nd October 1915 after sustaining shrapnel wounds to his left thigh. He was returned to Aldershot, the Cambrdge Miltary Hospital for treatment and recovery.
The photograph shows Edward Henry (smoking the pipe) in the trenches.
Any help with who the others might be or where this was taken would be appreciated.
