Wigwhammer Posted 18 January , 2015 Share Posted 18 January , 2015 George Lawrence Price - died 11.11.1918 10:58h, just 2 minutes before the armistice came into effect - reputedly the last soldier of the British Empire to be killed in the GW?

David Ridgus Posted 18 January , 2015 Share Posted 18 January , 2015 right who is this next to King George in 1918 ? Carl The eyes aren't quite up to that one Carl. So far all I can come up with is that he is very tall David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neverforget Posted 18 January , 2015 Share Posted 18 January , 2015 If it`s not Albert again, I`ll go for his son Leopold 3rd. Though he wasn`t as tall as his father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fattyowls Posted 18 January , 2015 Share Posted 18 January , 2015 Yes of course it's K, Pete! But such an unusual mufti photo I thought I'd share So obvious in fact that I began to doubt myself UG, good thinking and as you say well worth the post. I'm sure I read somewhere about Kitchener turning up to Cabinet meetings in uniform with full honours and it being rather intimidating; from your photo he looks pretty imposing in a top hat as well.

neverforget Posted 18 January , 2015 Share Posted 18 January , 2015 (edited) Anyone know who this RMLI, DSO officer is, before I let any clues out of the bag???

Pete. The photograph is from Beaverbrook's 'Politicians and the War' (1928), and is captioned: "Kitchener Leaving the War Office - 'And now nearly all the candles but one - that of life itself - are out.'

neverforget Posted 18 January , 2015 Share Posted 18 January , 2015 (edited) Good effort UG, but not him. Some pertinent numbers to play with: He was one of ten to finish, out of 29 who started.

EDIT: A 1930`s film was made of his escapades. Colonel Charles Rathborne - the 10 of 29 being those who made successful home runs in the so-called "First Great Escape" from the German PoW camp at Holzminden in 1918.

Outstanding piece of deduction, Andrew. I think I was a bit too cocky giving the clue about his "escapades." Good account of it here:http://inthefootsteps.org.uk/articles/1914-18greatwar/holzmindentunnellers.htm And I just love this picture: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
