And one of my favourites:

This young man is from a Territorial unit; The small badge right breast is an "Imperial Service" badge:

The photo of the IS badge is from a nice history of a lad from the 6th Battalion of the Gordons:

The badge was given to those who volunteered for overseas service during WWI. (Westlake & Chappell, British Territorial Units 1914-18, p.3)

Great pictures and commentary! Keep them coming!

[Mr. MacDougall]

As a veteran, this picture put me in mind of the exchange between Kirk and Chekov in Star Trek: Generations:

Chekov: I was never that young.

Kirk: No; you were younger.
