    ATO just means 'Ally' in my book. Not a job I'd ever have the bottle to do. RIP, fella.
    I am a self-made man. I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left!

    WW1 Alliness?....

    Grenadier Guards RSM

    Employing a bit of Google Fu I found this on a WW1 forum:

    "James Edward Parkin. Born 1/9/1878, Derby. Enlisted in the Grenadier Guards on 18/11/1895. Posted 1st Battalion. Lance Corporal, 21/12/1896. To Gibraltar, September 1897. Subsequently served in the Nile Expedition, Sudan (Queen's Sudan Medal & Khedive's Medal with clasp 'Khartoum'). NCO (Drill Sergeant) in charge of the Bearer Party at Edward VII's Funeral, 1910 (Royal Victorian Medal). Promoted RSM, May 1912. To France with 1st Battalion, October 1914. MiD on 20/11/1914. Transferred to RFC, August 1915 and commissioned Lieutenant QM. Created MBE, June 1918. Retired as Wing Commander, 1924. Recalled 1940 and served as Adjutant at RAF Uxbridge. Retired May 1945. Died 1967."

    Feck me....

    He looks like a Grenadier not a RM to me. Either way he has the "couldn't give a fuck" ally look.

    You are correct - I mis-identified the cap-badge, whilst ignoring the Guards' sized rank badge! I shall now beat myself with some nettles..

    Sensible wallah, just like my GGF ... start in the Guards (Scots in his case) and finish in the RAF. :P

    Removed due to computer monginess and the pic didnt come across as hoped
    Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
    Winston Churchill

    "If I`m going to get my balls blown off for a word, that word is going to be Poontang!"

    Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.
    Winston Churchill
