Officers of the 185th... 1916
Ah, The Surrey Commons! Many memories of traing there myself,sweating,freezing,sweating, you get the idea!
About 7 or so miles from Godalming, Surrey the area today is under the care of The National Trust and is a tourist spot with picnic areas etc. A different take on living in the field eh?

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing he cares more about than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature with no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
Thank you gentlemen for the additional photos and information, I believe my relative is pictured in the photos of the 185th Officers.
Thank you all again.

Wonder if that's your relation, top row, second from right or second row up, last officer on the right ?

Thought he looked like the last man sitting on a chair, at the end of the third row.
But I'm not sure, thanks for the great Photos.
I also know he ended up in The Engineers but I think that was in 1918.
My son totally agreed with your choice ( & mine too, second row up, last in the row on the chair), amazing we can discuss this worldwide !
Regards
Paul
Indeed it makes it feel like a very small world.
Happy New Years to you and yours.
