Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

VERY NICE ! These items singly are great additions but as a collection with that photo , I'm sure this is a desirable set ...
Kind regards

Re: WW1 Royal Garrison Artillery uniform
Very nice to find person identified WW1 kit , and not to an officer -has to be extremely rare . The Trench cap is great , it seems to be in a finer grade wool like the riding breeches ? I know that there were materials used other than issue serge.
