Found in my husband's grandparent's collection. No names or dates. I think the man standing is Robert Kinnash - pictured in another photograph in the King family album. He was wounded on September 15th, 1916 and died on September 19th, 1916.

Written on back: "Jimmy the 1" alias Hyde alongside destroyed concrete gun emplacement.

Written on the back: Thought I was falling to pieces the morning this was taken so made an effort to brace myself up. Hence the military attitude. Someone must have said "Tion!" C.O. on your right sitting. Chief on your left sitting. Hyde centre standing. A temf [?] 3rd on your right standing Ramrod King at left. Poorly focused setting of camera & strong sun shining. Zeebrugge 1918 My husband's grandfather. Thanks, fulvue - you were right about the location.
