Group Photo at Catterick 1949

This photo shows a group of 8 soldiers at Catterick in 1949.

The rear of the photo mentions both A Squadron and C Squadron and the soldier at the front left of the photo appears to be Jim who is shown on other photos on this web site.

There is a reference to Fuller on the rear of the photograph which could mean just about anything. Some of the soldiers can be seen wearing a type of belt or strap around their necks.

This photo is showing its age being discoloured and faded in places.

UPDATE (4/3/2005): Bernard tells me the soldiers often wore their belts around their shoulders or under their eplets to reduce the chance they got dirty and therefore making the belt one less item that needed to be cleaned.
