Marching on

A familiar scene probably found in most towns and cities during the Great War.

The army marches through Southwell

The Army Marches by

The Army marches past Manchester House, the drapers shop which belonged to William Loughton, Alfred’s brother. William can be seen standing outside the shop watching the parade go by with one of his daughters, either Annie Mary “Queenie” or Lottie Isabel. On the left can be seen the passageway to Alfred’s house and workshops. Note Alfred’s postcards on display on the wall.

I suspect that this may be C company of the 4th Battalion Notts Volunteer Regiment. Maybe somebody can confirm this.
