There's probably no Chailey 1914-1918 connection here but this is worth flagging up for anybody with a WW1 interest.
Yesterday's The Independent carried an article about a collection of photographic plates dating from 1915 and 1916 and depicting Allied - mostly British - troops in France. The Independent published some photographs in the paper; close to 300 have been published on the paper's website. Here's the link:
Gardin-Zanardi WW1 archive
There may of course be Chailey men amongst the subjects but regardless of that, the archive makes fascinating and compulsive viewing.
The photograph of the patriotic British Tommy tattoed with the Royal Family is one of the photos contained in the archive.
