Great War Portraits

I've created a Photographic Exhibition based on my photographs of Great War veterans. It will be touring various locations during the forth coming four years of the First World War Centenary.
 
 
The first venue is on Wednesday 26th March 2014 at 8pm - at Potten End Village Hall, Hertfordshire, HP4 2QG.
 
At Potten End there will be some local men included:
 
Sidney Lovell M.M. - 1/1st Bucks Bn. Ox & Bucks Light Infantry 
Sid lived in Tring. He went to France in March 1915 and served on the Western Front for two and half years. In November 1917 his battalion went to the Italian front. There he was awarded the Military Medal for ‘Bravery in the Field’ clearing enemy dug-outs. He ended the war with the rank of sergeant. Two of his brothers died during the war, both are remembered on the Tring War Memorial. Sid died in 1992 at the age of 98.

Bill Partridge - 7th Bn. Middlesex Regt., Durham Light Infantry & R.A.F.
Bill was born in North London but lived in Hemel Hempstead in his later life. In 1914 he enlisted into the Middlesex Regiment going to France in March 1915. He served on the Western Front throughout the war. He was wounded on 1st July 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme. In 1917 he was commissioned and served in the Durham Light Infantry as a 2nd Lieutenant. In 1918 he joined the R.A.F. as an observer gunner. He was injured when his aircraft crashed in the final months on the war. Bill died in 1986 at the age of 93.
 
Alf Razzell - 8th Bn. Royal Fusiliers
Born in South London, Alf enlisted in September 1914 and went to France in May 1915. On 7th July 1916 his battalion attacked during the Battle of the Somme and suffered very heavy casualties. Alf was later wounded in the battle and returned to England to convalesce at Watford. There he met his future wife Winnie. In 1917 he returned to his battalion in France and took part in The Battle of Arras on 9th April 1917. A month later he was captured, he remained a prisoner until the war ended. After the war he married Winnie and settled in Watford.  Alf died in 1995 at the age of 97.
