Pte Percival Pinfold - Photograph
He is the seated soldier.- see pic of reverse side of photo Photo courtesy of Marguerite Weigand (neé Pinfold). It was taken in 1914 when Pinfold was 20. The seated soldier is a Lance Corporal whereas Pinfold was a Private when he died. However, as the standing soldier (a Private) is clearly much older than 20, the seated soldier must be Pinfold.
