3rd Birmingham Pals (16th Royal Warwickshire Battalion)
View attachment 100871
Probable one of the last picture of the 3 City Battalion previously identified on the BHF as being the high Street Alcester before they moved to Malvern for further training in April 1915. The men now looking very smart and disciplined.

Yeh, saw the strap. No idea what that is doesn't seem to be any of the usual 14 pattern equipment and the postcard isn't giving it away I have had another look.
If you are interested in the Birmingham Pals read Terry Carters book if you haven't already both versions are equally as good.
More pictures to follow tomorrow.

I think many pictures were taken by Birmingham Studios. The first picture has 'Aston Photographers and Picture framers Royal Town Studio Birmingham Road Sutton Coldfield as does the second. The fourth has Walter Wooten 39 High Street Quarry Bank. Making the names out on the front however is a little more difficult.
