Many thanks for flagging this up. What a superb set of photos. One of my favourites is this one of Private Alex Gibson.

Bless them all RIP.

I notice the first photo says that this will be the first Rememberance day with no livng British survivors of WW1. Aren't they forgetting Claude Choules, or am I missing something? jossw

Nice to some familiar faces on there. I wonder who 'Keith Collman' the photographer was/is? Looks like it could be an interesting book.

CT-Guards,

Thank you for posting the link. I think that the images are excellent and very expertly photographed.

All the best,

Ian.

I agree, the press seem to forget that although he lives in Australia, Claude did serve in the Royal Navy, lazy journalism IMHO.
