Hertfordshire Regiment group photos and bio's (1)

Below are a series of 7 great photos courtesy of Mark McKibbin from Australia, who's Great Grandfather was Henry George Killington, who started life in the Bedfordshire Regiment as a 14 year old 'Boy' and rose to become a Captain Quartermaster in a career spanning five decades. Henry's bio can be seen here.

The first in the series appears to be from between 1908 and 1911 and was the front of a postcard, as was the case with all of the photos. A single Officer is flanked by a group of veteran Sergeants with more stripes, medals and trade badges between them than you are likely to see on any photos! Henry is almost certain to be one of them, although which one is uncertain.

 

The second and third are un-named Hertfordshire Territorials, presumably at one of the annual Summer Camps. The similarities suggest they may be the same young man but the absence of Sergeant stripes and oter such regalia appear to eliminate the chance of it being Henry Killington himself.

 

The following photos are varying groups of young Territorials, also presumably at one or more of the Summer Camp(s). Some faces look familiar both in general and also when compared to others in the series, but anyone able to identify any for certain, please say so!
