A Loughborough family below over 3 images. the single image the soldier has a non territorial cap badge, in the family image he now has a territorial badge and shoulder titles as does his brother. The image of the four men in uniform, there are two territorials, a Leicestershire Yeomanry trooper and a uniform of the Royal Flying Corps, these images came from a album that included two images of a George Henry Mills, 82657, RFA, Died of wounds 29/5/17, residence, Moor lane,Loughborough, ive looked up Mills and he did have 3 brothers but to young to serve, does anybody recognise this family?

Large photo , Officer in the centre is a Lieutenant Colonel, to his right is a Captain, to the right of the captain the man wears a medal ribbon, one of which looks to be a DCM, one man has a 'Gor blimey' cap so 1915 or after, pic 225

A Territorial officer, with a 'T' under his collar badges, Granby St, Leicester photographer, pic 246
This seated officer looks to have 3 pips on his shoulder boards, so a Captain, this is a cropped photo, what you cant see is two ladies with bouquets of flowers so im guessing a wedding, the reverse is hand written 'Laurel Grove, August 7th - 1918' pic 247
