J. T. Mitchard outside the Victoria Hall 1914

 This is the first photo of my Grandad as a young man we have seen. Billiards trophy.  My Uncle Arthur's photo hence the tag Dad. He joined the Coldstream Guards later that year. He was a miner. Transferred to the Royal Engineers and back below ground. 

This is what he did in WW1. Pic from the Osprey the War Underground which is excellent. Birthday present from Celia
