HMS New Zealand

Three sailors from the HMS New Zealand. An Indefatigable class battlecruiser, she was part of the Royal Navy's Grand Fleet. This card has a French back so this may have been taken when the ship visited Brest in February 1914.

Royal Warwickshire Regiment

Some members of The Royal Warwickshire Regiment with a cat and small child somewhere in England. They could possibly be from the 2nd Battalion. Written on either side of the doors behind them is "Transport TRWR 2".

West Yorkshire Regiment

13 members of the The Prince of Wales's Own (West Yorkshire Regiment). The soldier on the far right was lucky or unlucky depending on how you look at it. He was wounded twice (unlucky) but is still fit for duty (lucky).

Ross Rifle

At the start of the war the Canadian Infantryman was equipped with the Ross Rifle. It did not do well in the trenches, frequently jamming because of the dirt and mud. By 1916 it was replaced in combat by the Lee-Enfield and used for training in Canada and England.
