This photograph was taken during 1915 in Buckingham shortly before Arthur, the eldest son, left for France with his Territorial Regiment (Ox. & Bucks Light Infantry). The family who lived at the Police House in the village of Steeple Claydon, Buckinghamshire travelled the six miles to the photographers in a wagonette. This was hired from the proprietor of the "Phoenix" public house for two shillings and sixpence. The publican, Mr Billy Harris, supplemented his public house takings with the hire of this vehicle. The family was accompanied on their journey by a cousin Charles White (later Reverend). Whilst the photograph was being taken Charles tried (with an obvious lack of success) to make everyone laugh by pulling faces.
