I'm afraid it completely slipped my mind to respond earlier. There's sadly no writing on the back that I've been able to make out (there may have been some at one point, but the printing on the back has long since faded and worn). The idea of it being a funeral is admittedly just guesswork on my part, given the location of a cemetery, one of those times where I'll certainly admit my own lack of knowledge (at least when I originally wrote my post). Southern France would certainly fit, he was in Lamalous-les-Bains from March 27 to April 8, 1919 (alongside spending Easter that year in "Barn-l-Arne," which I've sadly been unable to ID as of yet). An outdoor church service could be a potentiality (or some other sort of ceremony? I can't think of anything that would have been taking place around that time off the top of my head, but I'm not as well read on the directly post-war history of the division, or the war more broadly). I've been digging through the National Archive's WW1 photo collection to see if I can find any possible leads (alongside looking for other images of the 29th and locations they were at, similar activities, etc.) Closest I've found so far, subject wise at least, is some of the cemeteries made by G.R.S. Unit 304, but the process itself has been great. I'll be sure to update if I come across any clear leads one way or the other in any of my research. -

Your man is Gerald “Gerry” W. Crabbe. He rose to the rank of colonel and served in the CBI. -

Another one. Why would they try and get rid of the "Sterling" marking? This one has the "G" still showing. -

Have a set of 4 documents that give a timeline of the recall of the m13 lightweight revolver from April 27 to May 13, 1959. Belonged to a usaf master Sergeant who was in supply with the 10th Tactical Reconnaissance Wing in Spangdahlem Air Base. -

I really like it. Just the way I like to see an original leather CBI patch manufactured - quality applied design and soft goat skin reverse. Great patch! -
