An Inns of Court Photograph by Newman of Berkhamsted

Help Desk
Jane sent this photograph which contains her grandfather, Charles William Bowell, because she knew very little about his involvement in the First World War.
Military

The picture was taken by James T Newman of Berkhamsted. The cap badges are of the Inns of Court Regiment, which during the War were an officer training corps based at Berkhamsted. It would appear from what Jane said that Charles failed to get his commission.
