SmithPhoto20, 1910s cabinet card by William Russell Glanville of Southend, Essex

Portrait of a young man in WW1 army uniform stood with his cap under his arm. His uniform looks new and is bare of service stripes or insignia indicating that this is probably a photo taken shortly after enlistment and before active service. The backdrop is painted, but chosen to represent a home.
