Photo KBNZ 1 Please contact Kate Blake at blake@cnl.com.au

This young soldier is something of a mystery. The photograph was sent to Kate by a lady who has a huge collection of photos that belonged to her Uncle who was in the 3RD LIGHT HORSE. Kate believes that this young soldier may be a NEW ZEALANDER but she is not certain.

Can you help identifying this young man? Perhaps you can help with the identification of his Regiment or unit please?

 

Kate has a great web site concerning research into the brave A.N.Z.A.C. forces. The site can be found at :- http://anzacresearch.tripod.com

NOTE: The lady that sent this photograph to Kate also sent several group photographs of WW1 German troops. There is no information what so ever for these photographs or the soldiers seen in them. Perhaps you can help? To view these images please click here > German Soldiers

The Gages were three 3 brothers, all senior NCO's, in same battalion. The notes on original e-mail say as much as I know about them at this time.
