Another 'identities unknown' photograph for this week's
Sepia Saturday post - a group of WW1 soldiers taking time out in the snow for a smoke. Their cap badges are too indistinct for me to identify accurately - I can see three Prince of Wales feathers and that's about it.

Very cool, and as far as feathers or cap badges I wouldn't know much about those, but it's fun learning!
I like the snowballs!
What is wonderful is the way in which a good quality scan can bring so much life back to such old photographs, you can get amongst the subjects and pick out so much detail.
I wonder if they pelted the photographer with those snowballs.
The snowballs are an interesting addition to the poses in the picture.
A interesting photograph. I wonder where they were?
Shall we guess about how many snowballs got thrown at the photographer? I'm guessing he or she was ducking and weaving saying, "Come on guys! Stop it! Come on guys!" Much laughter was probably heard.
A very different WW1 group photo than the usual arrangement of soldiers. The cap badge looks shaped like the Welch Regiment badge, but it also resembles the Prince of Wales's Leinster Regiment, and the 10th Royal Hussars too. Perhaps the pipes are a clue. :-)
The fellow in the turtleneck with the beret looks like he just dropped in from the Resistance.
Love this photo!
Interesting that there are more pipes than cigarettes.
