The John Chew Robinson WW1 Photograph Collection Page 3

JT 7 (is this a joke?) This WW1 photograph from the John Chew Robinson Collection depicts an unknown British soldier (possibly of The Northhumberland Fusiliers), with a "German?" prisoner. The photo certainly appears to be a light hearted joke, but the expression on the "prisoners" face is definitely not that of amusement! Perhaps his comrade had drunk too deeply from the rum jar and was acting his part a little to well??

JT 5 Whilst in action on the Western Front, John Chew Robinson was seriously wounded by shrapnel. He suffered serious wounds to his knee and was eventually sent to the Ascot Hospital for treatment and rehabilitation. His wounds were considered serious enough that as late as the 1940's he was still receiving intermittent treatment for them. The photograph "JT5" depicts a large group of servicemen, nurses and staff at the Ascot Hospital during WW1. John Robinson can be seen in this photograph, he is in the third row from the front and third from the left.
