Have been back to mum and although she can't lay her hands on the photo at this moment she has lent me Grandads Small Book which lists his army career and medals received (she never told me about this before) and also his war diary. This is about 4 inches by 2.5 inches and written mostly in pencil so is very faded. It describes daily what is going on. The first entry is 17th Sept 1916 and the last May 17th 1917. Mum has asked me to try and copy it out before it gets too faded to read so will try to do so this week. I can post it on here when done if anyone is interested.

By the way he has listed in his small book the 1914 star with Bar, the Military Medal, the British War Medal and the Victory Medal

Hi Donna

Been following this thread, and wishing I could help, but cant Im afraid. Have to say how lovely it is that you have so much on him still, especially the diary; wow!!

Best of luck to you, and I hope you get his full story - sounds fascinating.
