Photo Gallery :
The attached group of Isle of Wight Riflemen in training at Sandown in 1914 is of interest for several reasons. It shows Rfn Leonard LEDICOTT, the man behind the Sergeant with the gramophone, who survived the War, and from whose family the postcard image was obtained; we are fairly sure that it shows the three URRY brothers, (Frederick Albert, Edward George, and William Henry), who were all killed on the 12 Aug 1915 in Gallipoli; (middle row 5th, 6th, and 8th from left), and the photo has been marked with letters indicating the fate of the men shown - K - Killed, W - Wounded, and E - (probably) Enteric Fever. Since the group are wearing identical jerseys we believe that this is a photo of the 'B' Company football team, for which Leonard LEDICOTT was the goalkeeper. The Sergeant at the centre is John Francis (Jack) DENHAM, who survived the War. Frederick George URRY was married to Florence Laura Richardson, a sister of Arthur William Richardson, who is shown in the middle row, 3rd from left. Click on thumbnail for larger image
