While I can't identify which regiment is shown in the picture, I notice that most of the men are wearing a lanyard which I've never noticed in other pictures of the Warwicks, they could just be hanging their jacknife on it of course ! I'm think the man wearing the SD cap in the middle is of the Army Service Corps. A lot of that kitchen equipment looks very similar to kit that was in use in the 1970s.View attachment 84520
Sorry this is such a poor copy. I've had to scan a print until I can find a better one which is 'missing' at the moment. I was told this was a canteen in Sutton Park during WW1 and that the soldiers were from the Royal Warwicks on training there. I think it originally appeared in a local paper.
The chef is my great uncle, William Henry Woolley. He was born in Birmingham became a cook on merchant ships and later at the Savoy. He left there (for reasons best not mentioned here!) and came back to Birmingham at the start of the 20th century. Is it indeed the regiment mentioned?
