@klaasm67 @NetflixNL I haven't found a copy with English subtitles or dubbed into English yet. Though I did like it when I saw it. Year ago I bought a number of promotional stills from the film. At the time I thought they were official pictures taken in the battle.

@StevenJonMiller Well said that man.

@mrtbrett @sommecourt @Taff_Gillingham Hi Tom... can you make out any names on this card? I'd be very interested in adding it to my website and Roll of Honour for the NSY

[Somerset Tyke @yorksdragoons]

@CScottBooks @thesaleroom It sold for a massive amount recently, I tried to get it for my archive but at over £500 I couldn't justify it. Major Lubbock and his wife were real characters lol

@AlfordMartin Having seen the original this is based on and knowing who is pictured I LOVE this picture. It captures the life in these chaps.

[Somerset Tyke @yorksdragoons]

Axbridge Troop, "B" Squadron NSY at rest in camp sometime between 1909 and 1914. Originally I was informed that this picture was taken at Forset Row, where the NSY concentrated for brigade training before embarkation. I suspect this was earlier due to blue dress uniform.

[Somerset Tyke @yorksdragoons]

Gilbert Blinman Brown, Axbridge troop, 'B' Squadron, NSY
Later, Captain in the Cheddar Home Guard.

[Somerset Tyke @yorksdragoons]

Members of the North Somerset Yeomanry, thought to be Axbridge troop 'B' Squadron 1910 - 1914
