Winston. That great !!! the first photo of the 1 st Battalion has no date so I assume it may have been taken in 1914, another observation I made was the " Peace Plate" as I had not known this before. I have not searched all the site yet but its great so far. Many thanks for your posting.

Private CHARLES , Isaac
Unit: 1st/5th Bn.
Regiment: South Staffordshire Regiment
Service No: 17386
Date of Death: 25 March 1918
Commemoration: LONGUENESSE (ST. OMER) SOUVENIR CEMETERY
France
IV. F. 78.
Above was my grandmother's older brother. I didn't know anything about him except the story has come down through the years that my grandmother woke from a dream about a shell blast and later when she received word that Isaac had been killed, the date and time coincided with her dream.
I do have a small newspaper clipping (photo of Isaac Charles) which was posted in a paper at the time of his death. Unfortunately the name and date of the paper are not included. His last address was High Heath, Pelsall, Staffordshire.
Any information about how to track down the publisher of name of the paper will be appreciated.

The single chevron stripe on his arm on photo 1 is called a "Good Conduct Badge". It was awarded after two years service as long as the man had no blemish on his disciplinary record - not as easy as it sounds.
